I would say it is the female of Antipalus varipes. But no idea if the reddish colour in the mystax is normal. Better wait for Reinoud. Surely he can clarify this Smile

Spot on Piluca! Reddish beard is often the case

Thanks for clarifying the issue, Reinoud Smile I am more used to whitish bearded specimens and this variation sometimes makes me hesitate a little... However the rest of the fly leaves not much doubt Wink

Bit late, but thank you Piluca and Reinoud for your reactions!
