 I cannot exclude distinguenda from these pictures.
Locality strongly suggests ornata indeed.

 Can frontal views (better views of the cheeck) or views from the back (better view of the tergites) help to exclude G. distinguenda?
I'll check my other pics if i can find something usefull.

 which shows the very narrow face, as compared with the parafacialia, very nicely, again implying ornata.
