A rare mosquito for Townsville. This is only the second that has turned up in the malaise trap. Any suggestions?

Difficult to be sure from this photo, but I'd suggest something like Aedes tremulus

Thanks that Tony. Here is a picture of what I think is another of the same species.

The first one pictured has been sequenced on BOLD, but they do not have a A. tremulus to compare with. I found a mention of it on a Townsville website on bromeliads, so it is in the area.
