No, this is certainly not a female of either P. ustulata or P. andersoni. At the moment I have no key at hand, but I think this is Palloptera modesta (or Toxoneura modesta if you like).

Great, I had modesta with ? mark on this and two similar others Grin It's a new species for me and I really don't have a good key to separate them. ( I made the ID only by the wing marks) Thank You again.

The Swedish key of Andersson might be helpfull to you:

Andersson, H., 1990. De svenska prickflugorna (Diptera: Pallopteridae), med typdesig?ne?rin?gar och nya synonymer.? Entomologisk Tidskrift 111: 123-131.
