Hi,
some of the following characteristics we can see and leads to lutea.
-Chaetotaxy of fore and mid coxa
-Chaetotaxy of fore and mid femur
-Chaetotaxy of fore and mid tibia (posterior side missing, in both there are important characters)

A picture of the Hypopygium would probably be the safest and easiest way to reach species level. Especially in view of circumstances of the find, this should definitely be checked by an expert.

greets mats

here are some good pictures of lutea
