Thank you for your reaction Stephane!
Probably it is a Saltella sphondylii..?

I must confess I can't decide between
S. sphondylii and
nigripes...

In our Dutch species-system we only have sphondylii...
I may add two pictures, maybe they will help..
Can you say what part you need to be more sure..?
I have some more pictures.

Thank you, that helps,
Saltella sphondylii is OK, it is clearer that the katepisternum is entirely pruinose, and the mouth edge is protruding.
