Re: ID

It could also be Otiorhynchus aurifer , the way you differenciate it from O.sulcatus is that the latter has a tooth on the front femur, unless you have another photo of this showings this feature, we will have to leave it as Otiorhynchus sp with either species a possibility. The more defined colouration makes me think its O.aurifer but this is very variable and doesnt mean much.
