It reminds me of Cylindromyia.

Thank you both.
Yes I can see the similarity to Cylindromyia.

Wow! I didn't know you had Cylindromyia down there - I'd love to try to ID it if you could send it over any time :)

I'd would be happy to, except that I'm obliged to sent it to BOLD. My arrangement with them is to collect 5 of every species. If I can collect any more I'll let you know. In the mean time here is a dorsal image to tease you.
Cheers, Graeme
