Focussing on the insect the Dusky Woodswallow was feeding the babies. iNaturalist wasn't very helpful with suggestions.

The one suggestion that maybe might make sense from iNaturalist is Chrysopogon sp. (genus).

Chrysopogon muelleri is a pretty good match but Thereutria amaraca may be a possibility @GregD

T. amaraca lacks yellow on the tergites, has yellow/white tibiae and is less than half the size of C. muelleri. @MichaelMulvaney

I thought this image looked familiar, I ID'd the fly as C. muelleri yesterday.
