Do you have any more angles? It looks a bit anonymous :(

What is wrong witht he apical crossvein ?
It is interrupted !
By the way, the frontal tarsi are strongly flattened. This would not happen to be some weird Minthoini ???

Lydina aenea (flattened tarsi fit) with a mutation...

I considered Lydina, the vertex seems pretty broad.
Not saying you are wrong, by the way.

I think I caught one of these at the weekend here in southern England - so they are about :) I just haven't had a chance to key it yet but there's not much else flying at the moment with that greenish tint to the body.
