Hello,

With this habitus and the peculiar scutellum, could this one be Elachiptera tuberculifera?
Thank you for your help !

it looks good to me with my limited knowledge - scutum evenly dusted, scutellum shield-shaped, nice big tubercles. Here's a specimen you can compare it with that's been determined by a specialist
