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"
