According to Van Veen's key :

"1.a. Legs blackish, femora partly pale; anus black; antennae black or 3rd segment reddish -> 2

1.b Legs reddish; anus red; antennae red -> 3

2.a. Antennae black; wing: cell R closed far before wing border. 4-5 mm. NL, B, D -> Zodion notatum Meigen

2.b. Antennae partly reddish; wing: cell R closed near wing border or just open. 4.5-9 mm. NL, B, D -> Zodion cinereum Fabricius

3.a. Abdomen with depressed dots, greyish dusted; wing: cell R open. 7.5-8 mm. D. -> Zodion carceli Robineau-Desvoidy

3.b. Abdomen without depressed dots, reddish or yellowish; wing: cell R closed. 6-9 mm. Middle and Southern Europe. -> Zodion erythrurum Rondani
Literature"

This must be Zodion cinereum. Do you agree?
