If I'm correct about the family, I'll have a wild stab in the dark and guess Phaonia? I trust someone will put me right soon enough...

Thanks Erikas - nice to know I got the correct genus, and great to have a species (even if only a probable).

Actually this is close to but not Ph. valida. This is Phaonia errans : frontal triangle very narrow and reaching antennae base, no reddish occipital hairs, vein M1+2 not bent apically and antennae darker.

Many thanks for your expert diagnosis Stephane, now I have a definite name. I'll make sure I submit it to the gallery.
