Hello!
Besides the small
B. johannis (5 mm) and large
marci (10 mm) - see below - I also found a couple of 7-8 mm. But other than
Janet's the male does not have red legs.
All yesterday afternoon at forest border, northwest Germany.

Interesting. A more special species, either varipes or reticulatus, I can't tell.

The thorax is blackhaired,which contradicts reticulatus.
So varipes is my best guess
