Well, given the rounded and slightly divergent "tails", most likely D. acuminata

specialists identified a series of photos as-D. amphibia Marseul.

everything would be fine, but it's more like moesta

there was a burnt pine tree nearby... But we don't have such a zlatka (I hope for now) anymore - and they will only determine exactly in ZINA by the beetle itself...

In fact, the black seam looks more like an amphibian, but I do not know if this is a sign. Really let the specialists take a look. It's hard to tell from this photo.

In fact, this specimen has a very specific notch on its head - which no one else has in the goldfinches that live in the European part of the Russian Federation... or I'm wrong...
