Thanks @PeterA, my size estimation may be out. However, is this potentially the smaller male since it doesn't have the darker first abdominal segment, or the black spot on the side of the second abdom. segment?

Maybe, Anna, although I think I can see female scopa on the hind legs. Looking at my specimens again and at PaDIL, the dark abdominal first segment seems to be associated with the male. I may have got this mixed up in the book.
