Hi Chris, the extra photos certainly help. The wing shading of yellow leading edge with contrasting dark tip (I think I also see 3 submarginal cells) combined with the overall size and colouration (which makes it a Belonogaster mimic rather than an Ammophila one ) suggests it is
Systropus marshalli, a species distributed across the equatorial zone.
