I tried the Ceretti key and ended at Loewia - size could match, but I think they all are darker.
Is it the only image?

I don't think it's Loewia. Maybe a small Blondeliini.

For me, too little to go on, I do understand the Blondeliini suggestion and definitely not Loewia.

Yes, that is an option, but for such a rare species, I'd liked more oics.
