Rhamphomyia cinerascens, the femele has darkened posterior margin of the wings. Still, you need to be carefull, because
R. sulcata and
R. sulcatella are about at the same time and sometimes at the same locality. Please post for the gallery.

No, the female of
R.sulcatella has shortly pennate legs.
R. sulcata have normal legs and normal wings.
