I guess its not so much visible for better ID, right? Am I right at least about the genus? Thanks!

I think, ist a male of Trachusa byssinum. Females have darkisch and somewhat longer mandibel.
The scientific naming is at the time confused.
Several names are for the same species used:

Trachusa byssinum or Trachusa byssina
Anthidium byssinum or Anthidium byssina awkward

I prefer on faunaeur.org used name.
