The write up says males often have green halters, and yes mine has!

Difficult to find a pic of the underside, as that's all I got. I found one which does show some white under the abdomen, mine also has a couple of square patterns.

If there is nothing else comes close with these two features then it has to be Melanostoma scalare, the legs look to match too.
