Perhaps I should give up on these, but I thought these leg shots might be of some use:

I think I have found a name for this. I have keyed out another similar-sized Limosininae, caught in the same place in March 2010 (image herewith), as a female of Limosina silvatica, and the male above fits the drawing of the mid-leg for this species (fig 262 in Pitkin, RES 1988). Do you agree that the images are consistent with this identification?
