Yes, definitely a Gonia but not sure which one - needs Theo :)

Tough call. It is pretty black, but still, the face is pretty narrow and the dusting on tergite 5 seems to be pretty extended, both suggesting a dark ornata rather than picea.

Thanks for the 'solved', but I was not 100 % ('suggesting')
