This fly was about 10 mm. Black tibia but only small red markings on abdomen. I use to have N. marklini on this place but is this one one?

It's certainly a
Nowickia but with that much black I would go along with your idea of
N.marklini ... I have never actually held a specimen but that's what they tend to look like :)

As a rule of thumb, northern
Nowickia in lowlands are
marklini. Can be fairly common, almost like
R. fera in some locations.

Wow ... no wonder they had plenty in the Moscow museum then. It's a pity that they don't fly closer to the UK :D

Looks like marklini female to me.
Warning: alpina is extremely similar (fortunately: extremely rare).
