 Melangyna (cf.) barbifrons, female.

(Note: frons without dust spots (or very small).

 Hello Rune & Helge,

No doubt M. barbifrons, so the 'c.f.' can be dropped.

 Excellent Ectemnius. TumbsUp
I agree.
I checked the key Nationalnyckeln (swedish) for Melangyna.
1 -10 (female)/ 10 - 11 frons without dust spots (or nearly absent/ very small)/ 11 - 11b yellow markings on the abdomen..
= Melangyna barbifrons
