It's look like Eliozeta. If it is one, is it possible to go further ?
Thanks for all help

I think Eliozeta is brighter in colour and Clytiomya tend to be the duller ones, in that group of phasiines. But you need to see bristles on the sides of the thorax to be able to key them out and I don't see enough of these in the UK :)

Thanks Chris, next time I try to have better picture or catch one of them

Don't despair !

The third antennal segment is elongated and the arista is largely thickened, so we head on straight to E. pellucens.
