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
