Hello,
This female was caught in a wet moor in south Brittany (end of june).
I have a difficulty to identify.
With "The book", my first opinion is Rhagio vitripennis but i'm not sure.

We have a dark stigma, no other darl patch on wing. A thorax dark and yellow/orange with two paler line.
A yellow hind femur (but with some dark bands).
