As to the prominent anterodorsal bristles on middle tibia, I'd say Thelaira nigripes, but better wait for an expert for confirmation!

Definitely Thelaira - probably nigripes but the species can be annoyingly difficult to split because the size and number of bristles are slightly variable :)

The presence of outer verticals is much better feature... however, cannot be seen in this picture
