I am not sure. Unfortunately I have only this photo (the others were taken from the same angle). Can anything be said about this fly?

Size: ~6-7mm
Date: 19 July 2009
Location: Vegetation by the side of a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, I know, it was a longshot, but I thought it was worth a try :)

Thanks Theo!

Actually the picture is perfect to show all that's needed: bristles on cheeks, long petiole and a group of erect bristles on the scutellum.:) Does not leave many options.
