Zygaena viciae

Comparing the size and size-relation within the wing, I would still tend to Viciae. The longer I am looking at it, the more I am getting confused...
I was just to ask that, I am really finding a hard time to exclude lonicerae from any other zygaena, but bayucca is the god here so i didn't :D
What about Zygaena trifolii or Zygaena lonicerae? Can you exclude them, bayucca?
Counting was the easy part in this one ;-)... I have a great respect with IDing Zygaena, sometimes "easy", sometimes a nightmare. I would be happy if you just check Viciae yourself.
You're right, bayucca, I saw it too late when I suggested...but will leave suggestion
I only can see 5 spots. In my eyes this one is Zygaena viciae. Please, verify!!
