Big black fly with yellow marketings, black legs and yellow feet.
Could it be Nowickia ferox?

Nowickia certainly - but not
ferox I think - the black is too extensive on T5 :)

I agree, it is very dark, however, nigripalpis (the only other obvious species in Sweden) in even lighter.
Morevoer, I think i just see the tip of yellow palpi in the first pic. Which would make it ferox.

Thankyou so much, both of you! Sorry I don?t have better pictures, but the palpi is indeed yellow.
