Ukraine, Rivne region, on June 26.
Is it true that I'm in the photo of Rhogogaster viridis?

I would have said Rhogogaster chlorosoma is more likely.

I can ask: why do you think so? I see a dark mark on the tergites of the abdomen ...

Based on the colour characters in Taeger & Viitasaari's key, in particular the head and thorax. However, as they state, colour is variable in this group, so a reliable idenfication is not possible from this photo only.

Thank you for the keys to the Rhogogaster genus , I think, and really have to sign Rhogogaster sp. and make more snapshots from different angles.
