Hi Raimo, I think it's a female Chrysogaster virescens (antenna red, thorax shiny).

Greetings, Eric

Thanks. Its not so common here, why not a Chrysogaster coemiteriorum?

I'm not familiar with coemiteriorum but I thought it's thorax is more blackish?

Maybe, but my litterature (Nationalnyckeln) show a extended facial knob and mouth margin in the female virescens, like a beak.

I think it is a female of Chrysogaster solstitialis. In Chrysogaster coemiteriorum, they are more shiny and have lots of yellow at the bases of the wings.
