I think Lypha dubia. Am I right?
Best regards,

Perhaps a difference between male and female?

Yes, that looks correct - you just have to be careful not ot confuse it with
Campylochaeta (lots of facial ridge bristles) or
Phorocera (a bit longer body) at this time of year ... under a microscope I have no problems but with photos I always find it difficult if certain key features are obscured :)
