one angle makes this a bit difficult to judge. the mark on the head eliminates most Nephrotoma but the mark is more narrow than it should be for Nephrotoma submaculosa female. I cannot see any other option. I am not an expert but it looks like N. submaculosa is your only choice. Wait to see if anyone offers a different opinion.

N. submaculosa or flavescens for me. The black occipital mark looks like those of N. submaculosa. Black stripes on mesonotum seem to be entirely shiny whereas N. flavescens should have a narrow dull margin on these stripes.
