I said "Winthemia" because I don't dare to call the species.
Clearly, your flash makes it very hard to establish the real dust pattern on thorax and abdomen. The former feature for variegata, a clear candidate, is by definition invisible on all pictures.

Thank you, Theo. There is no flash used, only sunlight. However, I lightened the contrast a bit in Photoshop on the two latter photos...
