I think it should be Odontomyia ornata

Thank you Paul . It was quite brightly marked Yellow a Black with a striped Thorax , not really like the images of O. ornata that i have seen .Perhaps it is a variable species . |

Annulata is my first thought as well, but pictures are too small for me to be sure. Theo |

I have tried to put in a cropped image ,but it keeps appearing as the original I will keep trying , hopefully it will be easier to ID..At last.

It should be female annulata, but I cannot establish the crucial features.... Theo |
