First impression is male B. johannis, but it is very late, even for Mid Sweden....

Yes, I thought about that, but the antenna is too long.
So, the next alternative would be fulvicollis, but I am not going to make that call based on 1 pic of 1 male. (females are straightforward !).

Thanks for your efforts on this Bibio Libor and Theo
I have looked in a Norwegian Key where it says that legs on male fulvicollis should have black legs and 8 segments on antenne.
