I found this fly in the Umpqua 2001 catalog of flies. It is the possie
fly and is made with Australian opposum fur. Looks identical to the
mystery fur fly.

There is no such beastie as the Australian Opossum, Don.
(Bloody Umpqua ... ;-)

It's probably Brushtail possum body fur especially in NZ where the
brushtail is an introduced pest/vermin.
