These are the best shots I have of a same specimen, but there were a few and none had reddish in any part of the abdomen. I am sure they were all the same species, but no idea which one!!

Thanks a lot once more, Theo! I would love to know the species, but I am happy enough knowing the genus!! Smile

I think it has small red flecks on the sides of the t3.

Yes, Jaakko, I did notice.

However, unusual small.

There simply seems no other option than Mintho rufiventris.
