Excuse me for bumping this one but am still hoping for a least a partial id to point me in the right direction...

That's great info Janet - Thanks! ....and yes I've just checked the size and it's just a tad over 7mm.
I'll post the image on diptera.info together with this close-up:

It's worth a try Bruce, but you might not get anything definite. It was stated that:
"In flavicans and obscuripes the abdomen appears at least partly light and dark banded"
Yours does look to fit into one of those although I can't be sure, it seems to be more about abdomen and leg colour and banding.
