 I agree. Abdominal pattern suggests D. inconspicua, which should have hairlike ocellar bristles, which I don’t see.
If these are really lacking, D. vicina is an option. But somehow, too much gry on tergites ?

 Thank you Theo, I don't know what hairlike ocellars would look like, but to me, it only looks like hairs around the oceli.

 I agree. Abdomen suggests D. galii, but vertex is much too narrow.
So should be D. vicina.
