A female E.nemorum I think, but can I be sure?

I would agree, the stigma is small and doesn't appear to reach tip of Sc. although nemorum is, I think, a synonym of interruptus.

OK thanks. Yes E.nemorum and E.interruptus are synonyms. I got some good shots of males hovering above females as well last year, but was less confident of ID on this lone female..
