This fly was 3 mm. Is it a Platypalpus and could species be told from this only picture

Photo from Ramsjö, Ångermanland, Sweden 62.53N 17.45 E 10 june 2010

Thanks for your help in advance

I don't think it is a Platypalpus. It is rather a Tachypeza. I am sorry, but from this photo it is not possible to say which species.
