Hello, this is from Poland. I can’t really figure out what this could be. By best guess is Eurithia, and if Eurithia than should be vivida, but I’m absolutely not sure, even in the genus.. Things what I know but maybe can’t be seen in the pictures:
- legs are completely black
- 3 dc after the suture
- there are more than one rows of black bristles behind the postoculars
- lenght is somewhere between 9 and 14 mm.
- the arista broke down, but it was thickened for more than 2/3.
Could you help me please?

Yes, it is Eurithia and it is not anthophila.

Genitalia, also female, are highly distinctive.

Vivida generally has yellow palp.

so try to picture the genitalia !

Thank you very much, Theo!

I can see 1 posthumeral bristle, and palps are black, so I would say Eurithia connivens female. I did pictures of the genitalia: (I don’t know if the quality is enought).

Yes, female connivens. Makes sense in Poland.
