I believe I can see the haltere on this creature, so a fly, but the abdomen 
is so oddly shaped (like a wasp) and brightly coloured that I wonder. 
Unfortunately I was only able to get this one photo before it flew. Does 
anyone know what it is?

The abdomen suggests a Robber Fly but the wings appear too small/frail.

Thanks,
Angus
