Chrysis sp. -> Chrysis cf. bicolor

Hello dear helpers,

this Chrysis was hiding/sleeping on a thistle on Aug. 28 in a sandy area in Brandenburg/Germany (52°56'33.2"N 12°27'22.8"E). After moving it a bit I could take a few pictures before she took off.
Is a determination possible?

With thanks from Hans

nice pictures, tyhey are very hard to get good photos of!

it's a female Chrysis illigeri or bicolor, leaning towards the latter but I can't say for sure

Dear Alex,
thank you for your answer! So I call it Chrysis cf. bicolor.

Best regards,
Hans
