Is it possible to tell genus and eventually spieces of this female with brownish scutellum?
I suppose that this also are a female Nowickia marklini.

Thanks for your help in advance

Yes. You have a second, almost identical species, esp. in female sex (alpina)

The length of the arista differs in males...
in my very limited experience (I got alpina from Lapland and Siberia), I cannot tell the females apart.
