Can somebody tell if this is Metopia argyrocephala or is it M. rondaniana? I know Theo said something about the curly hairs on a fore tarsus but I still don't know how to deal with it :|

Because there are no curly hairs here..

Moreover, the very strong contrast between white and dark on the vertex also implies argyrocephala. To assess this, you need to have a lot of experience, it is tricky.

In any case: male M. argyrocephala.
