Another fly I can't identify with any accuracy or certainty. Any ideas anyone?

Morellia sp. is quite right.

Hi Stephane

OK, many thanks. I'm encouraged I got it to genus OK, and I'll assume it's not possible to be any more specific with Morellia species with just a photo.

Yes, especially in females.
