Can someone identify this critter? Taken today in Holland, nutrient rich grassland with man-high vegetation, unless mowed down. This one was on a coltsfoot leave close to ground level. Size approx 7 mm.

Thanks Nikita. I'd also posted this on a Dutch forum, which resulted in another name, Pherbina coryleti. Can this be a synonym? If not, what makes the distinction?

Not Cor, Pherbina coryleti isn't synonym, but misID, it looks totally different.
I attached image of Pherbina coryleti (also female) from Black's last year post, to compare.

Soon I do force Black to put image of Pherbina coryleti in the Gallery AngryAngryAngry
