Is this a Morellia? maybe simplex. It's found in Denmark May 14, 2022 in a coastal area.

Hi, I think Morellia is correct, but I cannot see enough details to confirm M. simplex.

I've been readin on Morellia, and I see prosternum as convex. And then I came to either hortorum or aenescens. Looking at the bristles on right hind tibia, I think hortotum is the one?
There is also a lot of cow dung nearby.
