Longitarsus jacobaeae?
To my eye, this beetle looks very similar to the Tansy Ragwort Flea Beetle. Wondering if anyone else thinks that might be alternative possibility to this genus?
For reference/comparison, I just posted a few of my images to that species page:

Must be abdominalis?
Apparently more grey or straw coloured than other genus members. The remaining 5 species shown in guide don't come close to looking like this, so one must assume by default it is the 6th (missing) species anyway.

Thanks
That would be nice to have that species on the guide. Hopefully there is a way to confirm it.
