Wing venation like Dynatosoma sp. but I don't know any Dynatosoma species with red abdomen.

Thanks Esko,
I couldn't find a match in the Gallery. Any key of this family available?

Bringing this up again, as I am really interested into getting ID help here

Thanks, John!
That's what I was looking for, and the key leeds indeed to
Dynatosoma, as Esko suggested. I think it is a female, so I don't know whether the species can be IDes, but if there are few members with such a red abdomen, maybe it is possible nevertheless?

Can you check if the hind tibiae have only two rows of long setae (rather than three)? If not, then
rufescens is most likely (what's in a name?).

Hey Paul,
rather three rows I'd say:

Yup, so
rufescens it is.
