Thanks for the answer. Yes, it looks very similar. It's a hibernating female, found in an old cave/gallery of the 1st World war, in the forest (424 m)
I read your publication : very interesting.

Best regards
Michel

Common species in medium and higher altitudes of Czechia and maybe also of Slovakia, but rare in Germany, Austria, France...
