Thanks!
Looking in the gallery it looks like a Thaumatomyia notata - possible?

I am not quite sure its
Thaumatomyia. The apical scutellar bristles appear a bit too separated than normally in
Thaumatomyia, they should be very close together and crossing each other. I think it is an
Chlorops species.
Check here for an illustration of what it should look like in Thaumatomiya:

Oh, and T. notata is a very common species, but mostly in Autumn. And there are other Thaumatomyia species in Norway too.
