No Jürgen, if you take care on wing venation I'm quite sure you'll be able to adress the family (and really likely) also the genus and the species of this female.

BTW: if you don't want to waste time figuring it, I'll get you the ID Smile

Perfect! Just I disagree about the species. I think that camera's flash probably highlighted too much its head, but frons doesn't look so polish/shiny, so M. scalare female
