Hello,

besides some P. hemiptera, obesa and many, many barbifrons I saw this Phasia in our garden (northwest Germany) two days ago. Because of its 6 mm size, I first took it for a female P. obesa, but after looking at the photos I'm rather sure, it is not. What could it be? A rather early female Phasia aurigera?

Unfortunately it was very windy. so the photos are rather blurred.
