The pterostigma is too small, even for a clavipes. The reason is that it seems to be incompletely pigmented. There is white, not transparency, where there should have been black. On both sides of the vein.
Hence, it looks like this is longipes after all....

The colouration is not reliable, see my review in Entomologische Berichten.
