Interesting - differences in tergite length are not mentioned in the keys I know.
Here is a nice picture of a C. femoratus female: https://www.galer..._rouge.jpg. The pale haltere knob is striking, and the arista that is darker than the orange basoflagellomere is well seen. Also the large, triangular flange at the apex of the hind tibia is visible.
I consider your female C. valgus.
Best wishes, Sundew
