Would be grateful for some ID help

Thank you

No, must be a Lydella.

I was keeping silent ... it looks way too anonymous to me ... but Lydella are very anonymous so it should be a good fit :D

Wide vertex, bare eyes, black scutellum with raised apical setae... what can be an alternative to this?

I missed the raised scutellars ... not very clear to my eyes ... but yes, I agree there isn't much else like that :)

Thank you very much for your reply, we have quite a large population here by the riverbank

Is it possible to tell the difference between Lydella stabulans and Lydella grisescens?

With Best Wishes:)
