This looks like a Psilopa sp. Is it possible to say more? Or are the species in this genus too similar to each other?

It is Psilopa, and it should be possible to put a species name on it. There are a couple of Hungarian species for which I don't have descriptions, though, so it may take a little while!:)

Thx Tony for your help in this and other threads. Psilopa polita would be a nice candidate just based on name, but maybe all Psilopa species are shiny, so guessing by species name is not very useful.
