Is it possible to tell genus and eventually spieces of this female with brownish scutellum?
I suppose that this also are a female Nowickia marklini.

Thanks for your help in advance

Yes. You have a second, almost identical species, esp. in female sex (alpina)

How does marklini differ from alpina?

The length of the arista differs in males...

in my very limited experience (I got alpina from Lapland and Siberia), I cannot tell the females apart.
