Hi Dominik, I am not really sure about it. That's why I didn't suggest L. gonagra...
Found some other nice ones: https://www.flickr.com/photos/toddburrows/5866028577 http://www.igoterra.com/artspec.asp?thingid=138300
Thorsten, can you check, please, and note the slightly different flags. Any explanation? I cannot imagine another species.
