Despite the coloration of the legs it is not D. cothurnata, in that species the silver stripe on the pleurae would be reduced to only the dorsal edge of the mesopleuron. It is complete in this specimen. Also males of D. cothurnata have dark purple blue eyes (not always visible). I think this one is something close to D. fuscipes or D. gagates
