18 July 2008, The Netherlands, De Wieden.
In wet area with rough vegetation near lake.

Specimen is 5 - 6 mm of bodylength,

Is it enough for an id on specieslevel?
(only this one picture)

I don't think C. ciliata. That is the subject (i think) of an other thread (18552), which i posted this afternoon.

I think this is Cordilura pudica (Meigen, 1826),
but for less then 50% sure!

Nice it is.

You did not find that in the key of Stuart Ball,
put on our attentention by Tony Irwin,
and from which i took the "most resembling' species:@.

Thank you again,

Does that species also have a strong apical bristle on palps?
