John the primary distinguishing feature dividing between the two similar C. parva and C. atrovespa are the thicker clubs on the sepals of C. parva (the swollen tip areas of these 3 sepals) which are not present in those photo where I can see them. I think on the evidence I can see this is C. atrovespa.
