Hello, a 7 mm Metopia in abandoned courtyard (northwest Germany). Species ID possible from these bad photos? Maybe M. argyrocephala?

I vote for M. argyrocephala based on Thomas Pape (1986): Revision of Oriental and Eastern Palaearctic Species of Metopia "Silvery part of fronto-oibifal plates covering anterior 0.4-0.5 and with an abrupt boundary to the grey posterior part" Greetings, Eric |
