Adult male - Tachygyna vancouverana - Male
Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
December 11, 2012
Size: ~1.5mm body length

I think this is Tachygyna vancouverana from diagrams in Millidge 1984. I didn't quite get the palp angles right though. Spent a while trying to figure out what the heck a mesal shot meant!

He was near this female:
