Photo taken this afternoon at Valladares - Vigo (Spain) at 300 mts.
I beleive its a Sylvicola sp., is it possible to tell by the photo to species level??
Size about 8mm, resting on Lonicera in a shady and moisty woodland area.
Thanks

Beautiful photographs ! Unfortunately the females (tip of abdomen rounded) of the cinctus group of species require dissection of genitalia for secure identification...
