Oke two tips

-1) don't think too soon: that Hybomitra is the same. there are many similar species.
You both can find bimaculata, muehlfeldi, ciureai, nitidifrons, lurida, tarandina, montanan, lundbecki and tropica, to name a few.

-2) Look for hovering males !
Hovering males are easily found, when present, and should belong to muehlfeldi, lundbecki or arpadi (sorry, forgot arpadi in 1).

Good luck
