Birch forest. South center of spain. 600 m. April

Could it be N. crocata?

I think it's more likely Nephrotoma luteata - see https://ccw.natur...

Well, it seems that N. luteata was considered a ssp of N. crocata until a few years ago. You're right, it 's very similar to N. luteata too, however I can't find any key that allows me to separate these species.
