Hi all, I collected this Macquartia last year from at light. It looks like the calyptrae are standing off, in which case I arrive at M. praefica. Is it possible to confirm this?

Info:
30-VI-2021
N 52.0312, E 4.4132
Netherlands near Pijnacker

I can take more pictures if necessary.

Should be M. grisea.

Praefica is a dark species.

Yes, a lot of bristles broken off on T3, but they are there. Thank you!
