Slovakia, Banská Bystrica, 21 April 2024, black alder stand near stream, 400 m.a.s.l., a species smaller than E. tesselata

I Think it should be some Leptempis, maybe E. dimidiata or nigricans. I checked pictures on the web, both species look similar and I don't know if the yellowish tint in the wings has some relevance (of the pictures from Slovakia, nigricans seems to have clear wings and dimidiata yellowish).

Thank you in advance

Matej
