Hello to all!
This one I bought ...err... caught at the Aldi's in my hometown (window, outside).
According to the gallery it seems most similar to
Hybomitra bimaculata... but it is not that I say "This is it!!!". So is it the one or another? Size 15mm.
If other details needed, I still have it, so I can provide other pics. Only the eyes have meanwhile lost their colour.
13.7.2010, Germany, Upper Bavaria, Traunstein, about 600m asl

Hi Theo!
I give you what I have about the eyes. The detail of the last picture is the last one again.
I hope you find the detail you need.

Despite the good pictures, it is difficult to tell.
It is not bimaculata, since the upper facets are enlarged (though little). It doesn't look like montana-group, moreover, only montana-group with dark notopleural lobes is lundbecki, which is no longer active in July.
So, the dark notopleural lobes and yellowish appearence then suggest distinguenda.

Thanks Theo!
You don't seem to be totally sure. Could it be helpful making detail pictures with my USB-microscope (if yes, what details do you need?)
