 Is it possible to identify this to species from this photo? Unfortunately I didn't get a shot showing a dorsal view so my attempts to key it fell at the first hurdle. There are only 2 species in the gallery with similar leg plumes: Dolichopus plumipes and D. wahlbergi. Is it one of these? Or are there other species exhibiting this feature which are not yet in the gallery?
It was photographed in Cheshire, UK on pondside vegetation on 31st May.

Thanks,
Ray

 Another photo from the same location, but taken 45 minutes later. I assume it is the same species...

 Is this a female D. plumipes? It was on the same plant at the same time as the male above.

 Visible characters agree with plumipes.

A recent Avast update of virus definitions cause a false positive on the site for a trojan. The guilty code was updated but you may have to clear the blocks from Avast.
