I was thinking livida as well and checked all of my livida and all flavopicta specimens. On that basis I think the pattern matches a reduced pattern flavopicta rather than livida.
I know this is lividas host plant however on the basis of pattern I leaned towards a reduced pattern flavopicta.
It’s one of those ones that if it was in your hand it would be blindingly obvious !
