This looks like a female
of Trimerotropis pallidipennis. The one shot that has the yellow color of the hind tibia shown helps a lot. As I recall T. infantilis is much smaller with black bars crossing the face near the antennae (much as in T. koebelei & T. cincta, and it has blue hind tibiae. Perhaps it is just another local form of T. cincta (along with fontana, koebelei, and a few others), but I've never actually seen T. infantilis yet. I hope to remedy that this year.

Thanks for ID, David
...and for the diagnostic comments regarding T. infantalis, I had no detailed descriptive info on that species. I hope you get to see it this year. I'll keep my eyes open too.
