Very difficult to tell, it is either fulvus or loewianus, the angle might be misleading, but I'd say it is loewianus

Thank for the advice
I thought also to fulvus and loewianus but I hesitate to choose loewianus because I believe that the species have hairy's eyes. Am I wrong ??

Can this pict help ?

Nono, females of both have eyes (virtually) bare.

This is loewianus indeed, thanks
