Without doubt Chloropidae: Could be a Calamoncosis if the ocellar triangle is covered by some setulae growing in punctures or a Rhodesiella sensu lato, if the anepisternum is covered by hairs and if the hind margin of the eye is slightly excavated in the lower part. The image and locality speaks for the 2nd possibility.

Thanks von Tschirnhaus, for all that information. I can't locate it immediately, but it will turn up and I'll get the views required.
