thanks.
I suppose my photo is too bad to risk a species name?

cothurnata female, I'd say. Colour of the legs, combined with the vague idea that the 'silverish' stripe at the side of the thorax is short..
Check some collectionmaterial, I'd say :-)

I would say Dioctria hyalipennis: the silverish stripe is on the side of the thorax is complete, the femora are yellow and the coxae are dark (D. linearis has yellow coxae).
