Apologies for the photos - it's right at the limit of my abilities and my camera's capability. Size was closer to 5 mm than 12 mm

This is an intriguing little hylaeine and is not a species that I recognise. It appears to have pale face marks but no pale areas anywhere else. More pictures or pictures of a male might help identify it.

Hi Michael, I've added two more photos but, sorry, that's all I have. Hope it helps.
