The individual on the image is a female of the red-legged form, the so called 'rufofemoral' form. Some authors (Kolbe and Breuning) describe different subpopulations based on the occurence of the femoral differences. But it is a fact that throughout the wide range of the different subspecies cancellatus and tibiscinus (West, North and Central Europe) rufofemoral individuals are found (Turin & Al.). Over this wide range entire rufofemoral populations can occur locally.

In Hungary the rufofemoral populations are encountered frequently in the wet habitats in the lowlands.
