Looks good to me - silvery face, protruding mouth edge, petiole, red sides to abdomen, slightly shaded wings - Eriothrix rufomaculata

Thank you for confirming the Id Chris. Didn't know it is rufomaculata instead of rufomaculatus. Regards, Tim www.ticor.be |

Rule of thumb: most latin words ending on -o, -s, or -x are feminine. Theo |

Just realised I should have also said ... and not Mintho rufiventris because the abdomen is more of less cylindrical (not laterally compressed) and it has 4 dark longitudinal stripes on the anterior part of the thorax  (wow... almost missed my chance to talk about Mintho  ) |
