Pipunculidae
This fly was about 3 mm. Could genus and/or species be told from pictures?

Photo from Hörsång, Ångermanland, Sweden 62.53N 17.45 E 1 September 2010

Thanks for your help in advance

Kurt, the Pipunculids are such a difficult group. I am not even sure which genus, looking at the photo's. I guess (!) it is Eudorylas, but I am not certain at all. Species level? Just forget it.

Did you collect the specimen?

Thanks for your help Ruud
I did not collect it and knew it could be very difficult from pictures.
