Slip of the mind, Eric? Clearly a argyrocephala complex male, thats what you meant ? Might be rondaniana.

I thought it has "mid tibia with a strong av bristle"? (and I did not find a male
M. campestris yet).

Frons is not silvery in campestris ! And location of bristlrs can be very tricky from pics.
