Can't get it much easier anto... (which makes it a very good picture too :) ). look at the vertical rows of hairs over the eyes, the very dark tarsae and femora, the reddish spots on the abdomen, the dark pterostigm with a bit of blackish cloud over the wing, the broad black stripe over the face, the strong dusting of the thorax...
That makes it a perfect tenax female.
