Chrysis cf. ignita

Hello, I found this Chrysis on the littoral, Northern France (Close Le Havre). My guess is that could be Chrysis ignita s.s. ? Thanks !

Yes, it could potentially be Chrysis ignita s.s., but I would like the apical teeth to be even more pointed and drawn out, the sternites to be greener (although it's a living specimen, so gold-green could be 'correct'), and the metasoma to bulge a bit more and not be so parallel sided for me to really confirm it. A view of the punctation on the middle of tergite 2 & 3 would also help.
It certainly has the long white hairs of ignita, but ID'ing anything but extremely obvious specimens from photographs is often not possible.

the abdomen strikes me more as C. impressa or C. schencki and the species close to them
