Choerades, maybe gilva?
EDITED: gilva looks different in the gallery and should have red tergites :(
legs red --> rufipes? BUT: species should have a black appearance. :(
black tergites with gold-yellow-red hairs --> fulva? BUT: species should have black legs. :(

Hello,
this is a male of the Choerades fimbriata/fulva - Group. The legs are black, only the hairs on the legs are pale.
