To me this looks just like a dark and grey Hydrophoria lancifer so I suspect it to be another species. Can it be ID'd?
Size: ~5-6mm
Date: 31 May 2009
Location: Vegetation (low) near a path. Decideous forest area (Helsingborg, Sweden)
Thanks!

Anthomyiidae, probably Hydrophoria lancifer male. Arista appear plumose, although the rays are very fine and don't show up in photos. Lower squamae larger than upper, hence probably not Hylemya spp.
