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.
