I would say it is the female of Antipalus varipes. But no idea if the reddish colour in the mystax is normal. Better wait for Reinoud. Surely he can clarify this  |

Spot on Piluca! Reddish beard is often the case

Thanks for clarifying the issue, Reinoud I am more used to whitish bearded specimens and this variation sometimes makes me hesitate a little... However the rest of the fly leaves not much doubt  |
