From the photos, C. brassicaria is much more likely, but we cannot see important characters like the eponymous long raised hairs ventrally on hind femur and tibia.

Well, it is a female, so don't use male characters.
And it has 3 pairs of marginals on tergite 4,. so it is definitely NOT brassicaria.

So, to me, pilipes female is quite likely, though it could be brevicornis as well.
