Could it be a female of Empis borealis?

Nope, it is Rhamphomyia but there are too many northern Scandinavian ones I have no experience with.

Thanks Paul!

Maybe (R. plumipes, R. sulcatina)

Now having seen R. trilineata (=R. sulcatina) in the material that Jari sent to me for identification I am confident that the above pictures are of that species. In his material I also saw plumipes but that one could already be discounted because it has (as implied by the name) plumose legs. Wink
