First fly (female) 10-11 mm this year in Kramfors Sweden still with 60 cm snow.
Perhaps Helina?

Should not P. tuguriorum have yellowish legs?

That was my question, too, in the above cited thread. Here the legs are mostly reddish. But Stephane stated that the individuals with darker legs are P. tuguriorum nevertheless.

Jurgen, I think your specimen did have pale legs, but probably not obvious to see on the photos. This one is not Ph. tuguriorum at all, crossveins not infuscated, scutellum not yellow appically...
This is probably another Phaonia, but I can't say more.
