I can just make out the tiny yellow-orange spot and additional yellow-orange marking on the abdomen behind the hind femur, as well as the yellow-orange marking on the tip of the abdomen. Both of these markings as well as the yellow on the top/side of the pronotum and white femur make me think this could be a female Lophyrotoma leachii. I might get @Jimbobo to have a look for you though😊
