Is it possible to tell which species this 6-7 mm male is? Inner half of femur 2 and 3 reddish. Photos from 29 april 2012 Skällsjön N 62, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden. Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [96.15Kb] |

Without my keys at hand I'd say Empis borealis, based on what I remember of the genitalia...

Thanks for your help Paul I use to see E. borealis first in spring but males use to have much broader wings than this one. |

That will be due to the oblique (almost lateral) view.
