Could it be Eurithia anthophila (Belgium)?

Certainly looks like
E.anthophila :) but I always prefer to do them using male genitalia because identifying characters are small and a little variable (in my experience). Here in England
anthophila is the commonest species in summer and is very frequently found on umbelliferous flowers.
