I saw this one early in the morning, on a wall of the lab; apparantly it was warming up. The lab is srrounded by a lawn.

My first guess was Villini, but the venation seems subtly different - or is the difference a fluke? R4+5 is continuing briefly past the cross vein with which it normally merges; only to end blindly. Medium sized.
