Can anyone confirm whether this is Anopheles (belated edit - it's not), and perhaps suggest a likely species?

Habitat: within house, in low-density residential area with patchwork of farmland and dry scrub.
Date: 22/08/2011
Size: 6-8mm

Not
Anopheles (whose females have much longer palps). Could be
Aedes s.l. but difficult to tell from this photo.

Thanks - palp lenght sounds like it will be much more helpful than uncertain resting angle in future.
