Hmm, that is a Spanish subspecies, and its supposed to be much larger than C. scutellaris scutellaris - how big is your specimen? Compared to "normal" C. scutellaris we have in central Europe?
Also, the red/golden colour of the scutellum and metanotum varies a lot in this species, even within the same population.
