I have already mentioned some doubt about this one with a recent picture of rubripes.
Darkened femora are a common feature in affinis, but not rubripes. This may be a melanistic affinis? In magnification, it seems as if I can see some fine hairs on the lateral two intervals, which would fix to affinis.

Harpalus rubripes
[exclamation of great disgust] I really meant Harpalus rubripes, not rufipes, which does also occur here, but is a bit larger and does not have a greenish cast.
