Not all of the diagnostic characters are visible, but if we assume that this is probably a common species, it is most likely
H. albiceps (=
maura and
modesta). In this species, and the equally common
griseola, the mid-femur lacks a row of posteroventral bristles. However in
albiceps the notopleuron is at least partly brown, like the dorsum, whereas in
griseola it is evenly grey, contrasting with the dorsum.
