Banska Bystrica, 3 May 2020, 400 m.a.s.l., riparian gallery, on Bird cherry, the size of Actina chalybata (I have have never seen a female), but legs seem to be too yellow for this species.

Thank you in advance

Matej

Matej, as first, you wrote Actina chalybata, but true name is Actina chalybea.
As second: Actina has loooong palpi and, as you wrote almost completely black legs.
And as third: your animal is Beris chalybata (here is probable your confusion in names).
