Are we sure it's not crassipennis ?
Oblonga is not really to be expected in north Poland

Hehe, I am just the dude putting the images in the Gallery and will not hazard a guess here. Let's wait for the photogrpaher to hear his arguments.

This is rather different for my probable Ectophasia oblonga.
More... it hasn't reddish abdomen, and here it is very clear a vitta on abdomen.. I think E. oblonga doesn't have any black stripe on abdomen, not sure, though.

Ectophasia oblonga is keyed on (amongst others): an abdomen that is: noticably longer than wide, with a redder colour and much narrower (or absent) longitudinal stripe. It also lacks dusting on the thorax, infront of the scutellum. This specimen appears to have faint dusting infront of the scutellum and the abdomen looks orange (not red) and doesn't look to be long enough. It is hard to see the abdomen clearly of course in this photo, which begs the question - "how did the original poster confirm this identification?" It certainly doesn't look like E.oblonga to me so can the original poster let us know how it was identified?

Comparing with my E. oblonga (confirmation by Liekele) with this specimen, and knowing previously some features for this species, I am sure that this photo doesn't belong to the Ectophasia oblonga. I might be wrong, though, but I'm eager to "hear" mwkozlowski.

Thanks a lot for valuable correction, I have no new argument for my ID, just wrong! Paul, coud you correct this somehow, to prevenr the propagation of a wrong name?

Done.
