Looks like it, but pic is insufficient.

If it was > 14 mm. it is pomonae

Is it possible to find B. pomonae in April? I thought this was a summer species.

you are right.
One can find pomonae in may, but april 2th is very unlikely.

So probably female of johannis or similar species.
We really can't discern the wing venation
