Good day,

Leonid's solution :
Re[-(2/15)
 I (2 (1 + (-1 + z) z) EllipticE[1 - z] -
 2 (1 + (-1 + z) z) EllipticE[I ArcCoth[Sqrt[z]], 1 - z] +
 z (1 + z) (EllipticF[I ArcCoth[Sqrt[z]], 1 - z] -
 EllipticK[1 - z]))];

and my own :

(1/15)*(4*(1 + (z-1)*z)*EllipticE[z] - 2*(2 + (z-3)*z)*EllipticK[z])

are numerically identical when z lies between 0 and 1.

I observed that for most rational values of z,
the solution was a linear combination of EllipticE
and EllipticK. Then I performed a polynomial fitting
of the coefficients.
Well, I confess I sort of guessed it...
