The really wide abdomen, small head and mottled dusting pattern are good indicators of
Trixa ... I just wasn't sure whether there was an alternative species in Germany :)

There is caerulescens as well in Germany, which lacks the darkening of the crossvein r-m (and many other features, invisible in these pics)
