Is it possible to discern the species further than genus sphaerophoria? Picture taken on June 4, 2019. Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, dry grassland with a lot of bushes and trees.

This is a typical female Sphaerophoria scripta.
It is possible to determine many, not all, females Sphaerophoria from a photo.
