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