Even though the quality of the picture is good, it is not sufficient to identify that female. It cannot be Melanostoma, as the yellow marks broadly reach the tergite margins, and the antennae are completely black. I suppose it is a female of the Platycheirus scutatus complex (https://www.zobod...3-0040.pdf). The females of the included species cannot be separated.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
