Big black fly with yellow marketings, black legs and yellow feet.

Could it be Nowickia ferox?

Nowickia certainly - but not ferox I think - the black is too extensive on T5 Smile

I agree, it is very dark, however, nigripalpis (the only other obvious species in Sweden) in even lighter.
Morevoer, I think i just see the tip of yellow palpi in the first pic. Which would make it ferox.
