I'm just glad I was able to get more than one angle on this one. Frans, thanks again for identifying yet another new species for the guide!

Entomobrya griseoolivata
This is the next best match. What convinced me in this picture is the transversal array of clear scalelike patches anteriorly on the 4th abdominal segment. This is typical for the European species E. marginata. This species is regularly confused with the American E. griseoolivata.
