more probably
prunaria/prunicia, need to count dorsal apical spurs on hind tibia...

I hope the following details will tell if there are 2 or three dorsal apical surs on t3.

I have feeling that the third brislte may look directly at us, side bristles may stand very wide, maybe Theo will answer you...

Calluna heath in NL typically has Ramonda prunaria,
R. prunicia is pretty rare and restricted to the Veluwe.
I agree that it is impossible to count the prae-apicals, the dorsal one could very well be invisible due to the tibia.

The exact location is on the Ginkelse heide on the Veluwe.
I will give you two more pictures to have still another look at the tibia 3 and on the head seen from the front

this one from the front also shows only 2 pre apical spurs on t3
