    @RMFelix, @WildFlower, after your comments I checked carefully all my photos of this species and hundreds of images and sites on-line. You are right, it looks more like M. jurtina. I think next time I have to take a specimen for closer investigation.
    I wanted to edit my photo, but instead I have deleted it. I am sorry, I lost all your comments and links.     Posted 9 years ago
