Thanks for help,

Hello,
I think the kind that's for sure ! However it seems that it is E. it is better to wait for the experts. It's a female !
It is a antennae yellow, scutellum with yellow hairs, hind tarsus yellow. It looks to match!:)

There seem to be black hairs on the disc of the scutellum. Combined with the rather narrow yellow bands over the tergites, the yellow antennae, the dusting on the frons, I would make this
E. nitidicollis.
