The dull thorax suggests it might be L. clelandi, but the detail is not clear enough to be sure.

Thanks Michael, I’ve got a few more images of this one, what features would be diagnostic?
   9 Aug 2022
A very clear image of the top of the thorax might help, but the other feature would be the end of the thorax which is nearly always hidden by wings.

I’ve added a new image with a slightly better view of the end of the thorax, but probably not good enough to make a difference

The new image is still consistent with L. clelandi, but as with most species of L. (Chilalictus), definitive identification from photos is seldom possible.
