Hi, A. fulvus, I think, as it's thorax is covered with golden hair and more than the tips of the femora are yellow. Eric |

I disagree. The third antennal segment is too elongated for fulvus and the hairs on thorax are silvery, not golden ( compare a fulvus from the gallery !). The colouration of femora is disturbingly in between fulvus and rusticus. To me, a female rusticus. Theo |
