Yes, Eurithia, but after that, I am officially lost.
You can see relatively broad vertex, black palpus, 4 post DC and foremost: sternite 6 with a central depression.
There is no species with such a combination. It keys out to vivida, but vivida has (generally) yellow palpus, 3 post DC and a typical slightly bluish overall colouration.
Maybe you can make a picture of the ventral side of the abdominal tip, to get a better view on sixth sternite ?

Thank you ! So no depression, it was a trick of light.
This changes the matter, need to re heck the keys...

So, most likely the female of Eurithia caesia, unless it is some very rare species.
Caesia is an early species for Eurithia, so that fits as well.
