About 10 mm, from an area with fens, mosses and beech forest. Someone who can help with genus/species?

My first thought is Muscina prolapsa, but I'd need to check if I'm right.

Thanks a lot! Is prolapsa the same species as pabulorum? In that case it seems to be correct according to Fonseca (1968) - with palpi and base of third antennal segment orange.

Best wishes

M. pabulorum (Fallen) is a junior synonym of M. prolapsa (Harris), but your specimen represents M. pascuorum. The latter is absent in Fonseca's key.
