Howdy, this is certainly not arietis so I removed the ID and tagging accordingly.
My favourite would be Clytus lama, but I cannot totally rule out rhamni as I just don't these two species well enough and they are tricky with various regional variants and/or subspecies.
I'll ask around but no guarantees ... Posted 8 years ago

  They are very similar indeed. I am leaning more towards C. rhamni but I am not sure.
  
  I found this key but I don't understand it :(
