Looks like another Trixa - note the very short antennae :)

I say Trixa conspersa, bacause the shaddow on 'crossveins' and the 'shaddow-dot' om r-m. It's near 10 mm, and I see that it is covered with some ... so it look black, the pattern is not visiable on thorax, and I think the head too. I also mixed a cold blue led-light with a normal white-yellow lamp .... (I have planning to stop that, because I got wrong colors) Thanks a lot. :):)

I think Trixa tend to get quite greasy, which masks the dusting patterns. If you try washing it for 24 hours in acetone or ethyl acetate it might look more normal. :)
