Not really possible to say with these ignita-group specimens, it does not look like the true ignita to me, rather more like impressa/angustula/corusca etc

Thank you very much Alex for your statement. I was afraid that an ID wasn't possible. It's very difficult to get pictures of such quick moving insects ...
