The female is a typical Dolichopus longitarsis.

The male is not a Dolichopus at all but Gymnopternus chalybeus (in genus Hercostomus in your key).

Both species are common in herb-rich fens. G. chalybeus loves the same habitat as the plant Comarum palustre (= Potentilla p.) and the fly is almost always found among dense stands of this plant.
