Please have a look at the following link: http://waarnemingen.be/waarneming/view/52411130?_popup=1

Observation in Antwerp Belgium. Most obvious would be Tolmerus atricapillus but the femura of this creature are very black, all of them. It is a female without posteroventral bristles on femur 1 so it can not be Machimus arthriticus, which is stouter and has more yellowish bristles on legs and lighter coloured beard. Has anyone a suggestion?
