I cannot see many details, but another vote for Nemorilla floralis.

Oops, Just noticed the upright apical scutellar bristles.. :(

New try: Phryxe nemea?

My vote is for the Phryxe ... they are as common as muck right now and they look exactly like the photo ;)

Thanks guys, the reddish tipped scutellum looks sort of familiar too.

Yes, it is Phryxe, not nemea,by the way, more like vulgaris or possibly magnicornis female
