It's a female, these are generally larger than males, and within females the size differs, they can be quite large, as this one is...
As for flaviventris, that species has a lot more yellow on the abdomen, and also some other characters like the pollinosity on the head that is different.
So this is definitely a female Syritta pipiens!
