WEll, I wouldn't gamble. The scutellum is too dark for Blepharipa, as well observed in the recent thread on Sturmia.

It might be something very different, like female Nemoraea ??
Or Eurithia ??

Actually I also meant to say that it was a female Nemoraea pellucida, but seeing that the photo was from May I decided to stay quiet. (But I'll post possible male and female Nemoraea soon.)
