[edit]
The deep notch at the sides of the scutellum, rounded angles of pronotum, contrasting black spots at the base of scutellum and general habitus point to Carpocoris pudicus. It's not Carpocoris mediterraneus as originally stated (it has no deep notch), neither Carpocoris purpureipennis as the source web page now (updated?) claims (has no deep notch, no contrasting black spots at base of scutellum).
