Nemoraea pellucida perhaps?  If it really is big then that wide abdomen and relatively small head with a narrow vertex would suggest Nemoraea.

Ernestia rudis male It is a male and Nemoraea males are orange (females are dark). Moreover, Nemoraea in Rotterdam would be the first in 150 years! The pic is not sharp enough, but the third antennal segment is much longer in Nemoraea. rudis is common here in coniferous forests. |

Thelaira sp. - hard to see the mid-tibia ad bristles but it might be solivaga if there were 3-4 large ones (or less would be nigrina)

This one seems Th. nigripes (sic) to me, I see 2 main ad bristles, a smaller 3 on top, which is OK and a shadow (which is no bristle !). To respond to Uwe: scutellum is quite red in rudis. Theo |
