Looks a bit similar to the fly in this thread: http://www.dipter...ad_id=7298 but the host would be wrong for Papilio Smile

Of course, if you send me the specimen then I'll try to key it Smile

Less tackle this one from behind:
I can't ID from these pictures, but if the most really is Papilio, it should be Buquetia musca.
