This Brachycera was found on a flower in a garden just outside of Stockholm Sweden end of June 2025.
Is it possible to say what genus this is or even species?

Sicus sp. (Conopidae)
Edit: The 2nd abdominal segment is distinctly longer than wide: probably a female
Sicus ferrugineus.

Many thanks Eric! There is only one Sicus species present in Sweden, so this must be Sicus ferrugineus
Best Regards
