Size 4-5 mm. That one was sitting on the grass before the rain had started (again), I saw others flying.

With the brownish impression I'd opt for
Eudorylas.

It's difficult to see if the wing has a well defined pterostigma. One one photo it appears so, in the other no stigma is visible :| Perhaps you are right, the general habitus points towards
Eudorylas.

Many thanks Jere and Paul - I'll check pterostigma.

The short abdomen relative to wing length and dense dusting suggest
Eudorylas to me.

Additional images (made indoors) - maybe this would help.

Eudorylas is as far as i can go despite the excellent images, need specimen and probably dissection to get to species.
