indeed 7 mm is the total lenght, with wings. Body lenght should be slightly less than 5 mm.

Because of the dark striped thorax, I thought of the possibilty it could be
Hydrophoria linogrisea, which also can have a darkened fore femur in female.
But looking at the amount of frontal setae .....it will stay
H. vagans
