Is this a Syritta pipiens?

Taken 23 May 2008 outside of Helsingborg, Sweden.

No doubt, as the other members of this genus are far: S. flaviventris lives more in the south, S. vittata is an eastern palaearctic species, doubtfully recorded from the Ukraine. S. pipiens has the hind femora sometimes very dark, once I saw even practically black femora.
