Hi,
Can anyone confirm that the fly pictured is an Otitidae - Melieria species?

Dear Nigel,
It is indeed a
Melieria
:
M. crassipennis
. The family however has been degraded to a subfamily of the Ulidiidae.
Best wishes,
John

Thanks John. I had wondered if it was crassipennis, as it looked similar to other photographs of this fly.
