Hello!

This rather small (7-8 mm) Haematopota sat on our house's wall tonight (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Is it H. pluvialis or perhaps a different species? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Astounding how small they can be! When I first saw it, I thought of small (even for that sex) male. The first females in June were mostly twice as big.
