 Thanks Stephane
I only have one Morellia on my Checklist which is M.importuna. Could this be it?

 I don't know M. importuna, should be an old synonym of...I can't find.
My guess is Morellia hortorum given the frons width. Maybe M. importuna is a synonym of this species.

 Thanks Stephane
I found M.importuna Haliday, by Googling it...old name I think...so M.hortorum it is Smile.

Regards Roger
Hope you sat in a darkened room with a large glass of wine following busy day ID'ing Muscidae yesterday Wink.
