Perhaps something like Protoclythia modesta...?

I'd vote for Seri obscuripennis: size of cup-cell small, the hind tarsi seem to be broad.

Thanks. It would be nice if you are right since only two observations has been recorded in Sweden.

Seri is wrong as your fly doesn't have a unicoloured grey abdomen- but I reach Seri through the key and don't know where is my lapse, but I try to find out. Do you have more photos of this fly?

Sorry no. It was the only fly that day and it flew avay after one picture.
