A female of the possibly most common species. Are there many simialr species to this? With orangish sides to the abdomen?

Superficially identical to several species in North America; the 'red-sided' group of species are possibly the most abundant Canadian Hybomitra.
I keyed this one to Hybomitra ciureai; see if Theo agrees :D.

I do !
See also the male in the other thread (which is now even more likely to be ciureai as well)
