Parydra aquila?

Parydra aquila is correct. At first I didn't believe it - those grey+black tibia felt troublesome - but a quick check of some specimens relealed that such a pattern is indeed visible visible when light hits the leg from a particular direction. This species is very common in Finland, second only to the much smaller P. pusilla.

Thank you Kahis.
Without too much knowledge I had no trubles with grey+black tibia. More trublesome was that I couldn't find neither ac, nor dc. So, when I red that ac and dc are so short and thin that badly visible (= unvisible) I became almost sure that it is P. aquila.

I will add them. You'd better not put them in the forum like this but send a PM. I do not always check, double check and triple check all forum threads and offers like these may thus escape my attention. ;)
