Thanks Johanna! I will upload more photos tomorrow. Is it necessary to see the genitalia to ID it?

Would be nice to see the genitalia.
Also a view on the midtibia and hindfemur could help.
Could you also check if there are some strong hairs on each lateral margin of the prosternum (difficult to photograph)
(prosternum; plate between the coxa of the forelegs, just below the head)

Leucophora obtusa (Zetterstedt)

Johanna :)

(Note; there is one Leucophora species from Sweden I do know nothing about; Leucophora unilineata, but with the typical shape of the distiphallus, I am relative sure about L. obtusa)

According to Griffiths (1996) L. unilineata has different genitalia, lacking the long, semicircular "paraphallic processes."
