Yes, it seems to be Estheria, somewhere in the petiolata-subgroup.
The topcell is open, however,.
so might be E. nigripes, a little-known species from North Africa and Southern Europe

I sent these photos to Tschorsnig before I upload here the photos and he told me a few moments ago that is probably a
female of Estheria decolor (Pandellé, 1896).

I see a trace of yellow on the right in the second lateral photo. The specimen is unevenly worn.

Well it was really very worn. So this should be settled as decolor or petiolata? Thanks.
