I was so excited to come across a fly all dressed up in green and gold and ready to cheer on the Aussies at the London Olympics! Thanks to Argybee for confirming the ID.

Thanks everyone, and special thanks to Argybee for confirming the ID.
That looks identical to greenbottle flies except for the orange face, what a neat looking fly!
Amazing. Looks like it's made of plastic parts - a toy fly! Ok let's id it...
