Netherlands, today, in wet forest
Looks like "Aedes communis", but believe this to be group species? Is there more to be said? Any resources I could be using?

Thank you very much, I found the following references:
- https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/Reverse-identification-key-for-invasive-mosquito-species.pdf
- https://bioinfo-web.mpl.ird.fr/identiciels/moskeytool_V2.4/html-e/taxa/index.html
I would say I am missing (at least) better pictures of the scutum. Better luck next time.
