Coreidae, Coreinae, Anisoscelini, Leptoglossus sp. Looking at the different species I ruled all out besides Leptoglossus corculus and Leptoglossus cypealis. And looking at the border I think it looks more like Corculus than Cypealis, which would have much broader black/white patches at the margin, whereas Corculus has faint and thin stripes. The zig-zag marking, however, looks more like being the ones from Cypealis besides they are usually much thicker and stronger there. Finally I would slightly tend to Leptoglossus cf. corculus and I would be happy if someone could check and confirm or correct my suggestion!
