It's tricky to separate A. viriditarsis from A. montanus without a view of the underside. I think it should be A. viriditarsis here, as this is the typical colouration of the species in the area (but colouration of both species varies across their range) and the side of the clypeus is quite concave not more straight as in A. montanus.

I think could be either A. viriditarsis or A. montanus, a bit difficult to say with the abdomen missing.
