Well, it is argyrocephala-group for sure.

We would need a closeup of the front tarsus to say more.
And even than....difficult

No bristles on fore tarsus. I really couldn't imagine any other species :o No hairs on fore tarsus; not campestris or staegerii, T1+2 with median marginal bristles; not grandii or roserii, frontal vitta not distinct to lunula; not tshernovae, not a row with short frontal bristles; not roserii. There is only argyrocephala left with mach of all charaters in Pape. :|

Yes, if there are no curly hairs on tarsus 1, this is argyrocephala.
