Could you please make a shot straight frontal of the head ?
I need to measure the relative proportions.

Thanks. Male bimaculata-group.
Should be male H. muehlfeldi, which is very early in the year.

Thank you very much! There has been little snow this winter - and an early spring - so I don't think it is unnatural for some species to appear earlier.
