I see your Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and raise you a Mallochomacquartia vexata.

Seen yesterday in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, New Zealand. It's an endemic New Zealand tachinid fly that's an insect parasitoid and pollinator.

(Like many common NZ native insects, there is notably little about its natural history anywhere on the internet.)
