Is this a female morellia hortorum or podagrica sp. and can it be determined from the photos?

Hi Rune, I see a red tip of the scutellum and the m-vein is strongly bowed: Muscina prolapsa, I think.

No, Eric, it is Morellia, either by jizz and by strongly curved vein M and by white stripe on scutum.
Which one difficult to say, I suppose M. aenescens.
