Could this 2 pictures of a smaller (3,5 mm) Phasia also be aurulans or is another species?
Today I had at least 6 Phasia aurulans on some flowers. Most of them with clear markings on thoraic dorsum but one of them with an unclear mark but in size as the others 5-6 mm.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Kurt
It is much too smal for aurulans.
It seems to be barbifrons, though the barby hairs are out of focus so not 100 % sure.
