Oedaleus australis? The x mark on back, elongated eye from the triangle mark and the pronotum doesnt look particularly raised. Why do they have to look so similar? Will let @RogerF decide.

Correct Clare. Also does not have the yellow hind wing

I didnt realise you could see the yellow hind wing when not in flight!

Thanks for these comments. I have two or three other similar images from the same general area on the same day. I didn't load them because I thought they were the same species. I will go back through them and do the yellow wing check. Too late to listen for the wing clicks!
