Yes - it's a flatwing. Probably a Common Flatwing (Argiolestes icteromelas), but there is a chance that at that location it could be an immature male Powdered Flatwing. The distinguishing features (thoracid side markings) are not sufficiently clear or complete.

Hi, Ive added another photo. I thought it was a worse photo, but perhaps its a better perspective of the thorax?

Yes - the more trapezoid shape of the lateral pale thoracic mark looks good for a Powdered Flatwing, and the more elongated anal appendages with the distinct sub-apical spur support that conclusion.
