Hey Karol ox, its not X. pedissequum, this species would have a distinct grey/black band between each tergit and sternit. The specimen in your picture just have black stripes between the 1st and 2nd Tergit and sternit So it is X. dives or X. stackelbergi which are difficult to separate. I leaning to X. dives because of the triangular shaped yellow spot on tergit 2, with a more pointed inner corner, in X. stackelbergi it should be more rounded. a very descriptive key is provided by Speight and Sommaggio (but it is a provisional one!)
