Yes, there is a possibility. You can clearly seen on the picture that the oblique lines of grey dusting on tergite 1 (visbile beneath the scutellum) are widely separated from each other. The only species in which this is the case, is P. consimilis. In P. frutetorum and P. versicolor these lines are connected and form a semicircular band.

Thanks a lot to both Nielsyese and Menno.
It looks like consimilis is the only species in northern part of Sweden according to Swedish Catalogus.
