I think it is some kind of clubtail...I was looking up some the other day for work. This is a link to a pbase fella http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/clubtails_etc There are some other good ones too, I saved them at work and can send to you. Some of them are really rare but so dif to identify accurately. Lovely shot!
