To me it looks like it can be S. vaginata, but arista might look plumose maybe(??) which suggests pallida.
Do you have a bigger pic?
Wait for Andrzej! I am still a trainee.

Hmm,
both species mentioned by "Cyprinoid" have similar aristal "chaetotaxy".
Suillia pallida species-group is the best name for your male specimen !

I am easily thrown off by the terminology, total lack of experience :-). I was very close though.

You've learned a lot since you joined. Hopefully so have I. I'm still getting lost in the terminology though :)
