Not all characters are visible, but looks like
Macquartia tenebricosa for me.

Sorry, vertex too wide for
tenebricosa, more likely
Macquartia nudigena, too intensive dusting and calypterae are standing off..

Nudigena makes sense in Sweden, however, in the first pic it seems the parafacial is clearly hairy.
So that is why I dismissed nudigena.
Still, I have not better suggestion
