I'd agree with that - very hairy eyes; protruding mouth edge; wide abdomen with strongly dusted bands; shaded rm vein; flying in Spring ... all say
E.puparum. Actually this would be quite late in its season - hence the damaged wings. :)

Hi,
Just as a caution:
E. vagans is quite similar and both early fliers, although
puparum a bit earlier. Might be a difficult to judge from the picture which one this is..
In Finland
puparum flies very early: no leaves on the trees etc. My experience of
vagans is from NW-Germany (end April), flying in the spring but in basically full summer conditions for a Finn. These
vagans also had similarly shaded r-m, whereas the Finnish
puparum don't (a image for a comparison, male and a female).

These are just thoughts, no expert opinions! I was struggling a bit with id's for the
vagans, so Theo might prove me wrong still.
