Really curious where to put this specimen. Mid June at light trap near a pond, Vienna.

In America some Dixella have that color pattern.

Hi John,
I am now pretty sure that it is a Dixella. It was a pond, and Dixa should occur at streams. I fear with external morphology I won't reach species ID. Anyways, here are some more photos

The first flagellomere appears cylindrical (not slightly swollen) so it should be Dixella.
