 This Brachycera was found in an open woodland, mainly oak, with grass and flowers on the ground. Mid May just outside Stockholm Sweden. Is it possible to say what genus this is? or even species?

 Many thanks John for a quick answer.
This could possibly be an Empis trigramma, I will have a further look in relevant keys

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
