Is there any possibility to reach species level?

Thanks!

I can't really see enough to run it through the key but if I were to *guess* then I would say that it looks like C.auriceps ... but maybe Erikas can see more :)

Do you have more angles? Would be nice to see the dorsal surface.

Unfortunately, this was the only pose they permitted. When I tried to move to take a shot of their “backs” they disappeared within the mass of 5 ft high umbelliferous vegetation.:@

I will tag it as auriceps 'until further notice'.

Thanks for your time and knowledge,
André
