Hi,
Stephane Lebrun identified it as Asteia sp but we have no way to go further.
Could I have your opinion?

Looks like Asteia amoena (white line across mouth edge, dark frons, all yellow scutellum, dark thorax) to me, but those spots on the abdomen admittedly look a bit odd. Never underestimate the extent of natural variation, I guess.
