It is similar to Eriothrix rufomaculatus but I think it's something else (R5 rather open). Maybe another species of this genus... I have only this photo and it is not enough to work with key for me. Please, help. 20.07.2012, Eastern Poland alon attached the following image:  [101.81Kb] Edited by alon on 13-01-2013 11:20 |

Looks a lot like Thelaira sp., with its hemispherical head and gangly legs. Try Thelaira solivaga if you don't get confirmation from the experts  |

Yeah, Thelaira certainly - but I'd have to see the mid tibia a bit more clearly to guess which species

Thanks a lot. Mid tibia in better resolution (I see 3 ad) - is that enough? Th. solivaga seems good id.

I am tempted to say nigripes (it is usually the commonest) ... but they are quite a difficult genus because there the features overlap between species
