Found 5 or 6 flying around this morning. Sorry not so great pics, but there are a few different individuals here. I'm thinking maybe the smaller ones are darker, and the slightly larger ones lighter.

To me the first two images may be a different species to the last two. In the first two the head seems much more prominent and a different shape.

Yes, I've been looking at Christine's and Michael's specimens and believe there are two species present. These photos help further. Will write more on this soon.
