Sorry about the poor picture quality.
Found in a lush mountain valley - southern Norway in July 2017. About 11 mm.

Panzeria?

Yes. I have no idea if you have the mountain species like suspecta.
If not, it is connivens. The vertex seems a bit broad for the male of this species.

Thank you very much!
In Norway, it seems that only Panzeria (Ernestia) rudis has been found. In Sweden there are a few more species in the genus Panzeria - but not P. suspecta or P. connivens.

We call it Eurithia. Please check again.

Oops…
We do not have E. suspecta but E. connivens. So according to you, I call it Eurithia connivens.

Yes, our Nearctic collegues have lumped several genera.
Given the Asian / Siberian fauna, I am not yet convinced (and I am more a lumper, traditionally).
Anyways, it is a matter of opinion.
I think we all consider Eurithia, Appendicia, Fausta and Panzeria s.s. to be monophyletic.
