Are the eyes really hairy or is that an optical illusion? Can we also have a side view? Thanks

Hmm, Ernestia puparum? Smile If it is male it would be interesting to see the genitalia hooked out.

I agree with Chris.
The only think that comes to mind is Ernestia puparum.
However, it is quite atypical, for instance the scutellum is completely dark. My specimens (just a few) are much more reddish.
But I don't have an alternative.
So best guess is dark Ernestia puparum
