This Platycheirus was 5-7 mm. Is it peltatus group ant could species be told from this only picture?

My shot would be either P. peltatus or P. nielseni. I have not enough experience with the latter to identify it from a photo. Given tibia 2 (blackish, seems to have a distinct ventral swelling at 2/3rd of the length) I would say it is more nielseni than peltatus.
