It looks similar to the fly in my previous post. The colours are different though. I found it in the Limpopo region in SA.Smile

Thank you Jorge. Much appreciated. If I remember correctly, it was larger than the previous fly.Smile

Should be Odontomyia or a close related genus... this group needs a revision nearly in every part of the world...
