I'm fairly sure it's a Phaonia, but which one? Can it be ID'd?

Size: ~7-8mm
Date: 28 September 2009
Location: On wooden railing around a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thanks!

I think you're right Joke. There is also a good resemblance to the one in the gallery.

Yes, it's a nice bubble, and one of the biggest I've seen. Haven't seen that colour before either. Coffee perhaps? :)
