Photographed at local reservoir in Warwickshire last week. Male and female of the same species I think, but which?   |

Morning Walwyn,
As good as these images are, do you have any other top-down angles? I'd like to see the wing venation - in particular a cross-vein.
Take care, Jason  |

I'll have a look when I get back home later. There may be one of the male, not sure about the female. |

The best of the others is this one but probably not much use.  |

The front tarsi are shorter than the tarsus and it lacks the M-cu crossvein so I would go for the Orthocladiinae sub-family. Species-level identifications are reliant on microscopic scrutiny of males, a key was recently re-published - at £53! |

Thanks for that. I don't collect so this is going to be the best it gets. | | |
