Hi, isn't the 3rd photo showing a differnet male specimen? I think the female might be also teneral, not necesseraly brachypterous. Just an idea.

Regards, Walter

Thanks!
That day I saw 3 females and all of them were with such wings. Though it is possible mass flight... The male on the third photo is rather similar to the male from coupling pair, but completely I am not assured.
