Hi Nikita
Looks like rufimana in all the characters I can see on the photo.
C. rufimana is described as having browner hind tibiae, but I have specimens in which all the legs are the same colour.
A female from the abdomen shape (the males tend to be broader towards the end, rather than the middle of the abdomen).
Remember I'm not familiar with any additional eastern European species you may have. Most Cordilura are best checked using the male genitalia. (except for females ;) )

Thank you Tony.
In Gorodkov's key I came to two species distinguishing from male genitalia and my fly's genitalia looked like C. rufimana.

I can't see now why C.rufimana.
Tibias all yellow - it leads us to C.pubera/pudica. This two species distunguish by ventral black spots on tarsi segments. On this photo tarsi aren't visible. On the photo I've send to Gallery tarsi somewhat darkened even on dorsal surface as a result of spots on ventral surface. So, submitted image is better than this one, so Paul, please, cancel this one from waiting a Gallery.

I have two waiting, the one above and a female. You have no reason to suspect they are conspecific? And you cannot tell if it is pubera or pudica?
