Could this 4-4,5 mm long Phasia be a barbifrons?

I don't think so. The mouth margin in strongly projected, suggesting aurulans.
So a very small aurulans or obesa.

When I have aurulans on same place this one should be one to.
Is it common that aurulans and perhaps others don´t have bright signs on thoraic dorsum?

Only the males have.
In females they are absent or far less obvious
