Wasp? Fly? not sure what it was. But it was quick. Very much dark red and black in colour.

The shape of the face; the silvery-grey around the sides of the thorax (the black on the top of thorax is balding); the orange-coloured translucent wings; & the predominantly burnt-orange abdomen with black tip look very much like the Tyde’s Sand Wasp (Podalonia tydei).
