I'm not sure this is a weevil? I've added a couple more photos with the face included - sorry they weren't in the original posting

@AlisonMilton Thank you, Alison. I'm still a bit unsure - is this a weevil, or might this be a longicorn beetle? Pempsamacra pygmaea?

Surely a longhorn? The antennae are totally different to Rhinotia bidentata. Looks to be a decent match to Pempsamacra pygmaea. Perhaps one is a mimic of the other?
