I think it is Nephrotoma quadrifaria or a very closely related species. I have looked on the web for images and most images seem to agree (it appears as if not all images under that name on the net are from the same species). One you can check is http://www.gwydir...ulidae.htm (scroll down a little). I think the one on http://www.biopix...toid=11192 is in fact another species as the head is not reddish and the thorax is much darker.
