Seen yesterday in my garden, Copenhagen, Denmark.
I only got these two low quality photos.
Bigger than the two Phasia obesa I?ve seen and a little smaller than P. hemiptera.
Is it P. obesa or could it be P. aurigera???? Is i possible to say?
Thanks in advance

I think, it's a
P. aurigera female. Saw the first one this year here in northwest Germany yesterday, too:

Indeed, aurigera female, rather dark.
The dusting on thorax is characteristic.
