 Is it possible to tell which genus and perhaps species this 5 mm bluish tinted fly is?

Photos from 30 april 2012 Kramfors N 62, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance

It seems that M. viridicyanea and gentilis are present in Sweden.
Then viridicyanea I presume?

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.
