I've been browsing the gallery and searched the forum but can't tell wether it is arbustorum, pertinax or tenax. Judging from the answers to posts, it seems as the id of theses species is quite straightforward, but I haven't figured out why.

I do see hairy bands in the eyes and have read that leg colour is not diagnostic.

Could anyone be so kind to tell wich species it is and what makes him think so?

Thanks in advance,
