Guess this is genus Beris? Is it possible to identify from photos?

Photographed in a oak forest close to a lake in southern Norway. Date is 09.06.2012.

Size around 7-8 mm I think.

Looked through the gallery, could this be a Beris clavipes (female)?

I would say Beris clavipes as the hind tibia is all yellow, in Beris vallata it is black in the apical half

I don't have the keys for this genus, so I've only got to B. clavipes by comparing with photos (of all the Beris sp. known from Norway).

Females of Beris vallata seems to have more transparant wings too? This and a another one I've photographed have almost black wings...
