My opinion is that it is a female Helina reversio ; of course Helina det. by picture is never 100% guaranted, but you can verify with your key. It has all typical characters, from what I can see (pd on basal half of t3, very short pra, 2+2 ks, bare eyes, dark legs with brownish tibiae and knees...). This species has often slightly infuscated crossveins, I noticed that, even if not mentioned in keys.
Stephane.
