Looks a bit similar to the fly in this thread: http://www.dipter...ad_id=7298 but the host would be wrong for Papilio :)

Of course, if you send me the specimen then I'll try to key it :)

Less tackle this one from behind:
I can't ID from these pictures, but if the most really is Papilio, it should be Buquetia musca.
