This is Diptera: fam. Psychodidae (maybe Psychoda sp., but surely subfam. Psychodinae) http://www.museums.org.za/bio/insects/flies/psychodidae/index.htm |

Hi Robert and Mario, Many thanks for your replies and the suggestions, having checked both on the internet, I think it is Psychodidae I will have to do further reading to see if I can get any closer to a species. Thanks both for your time, Regards Chas |
