Is it possible to tell which species this 6-7 mm male is? Inner half of femur 2 and 3 reddish.
Photos from 29 april 2012 Skällsjön N 62, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.
Thanks for your help in advance

Without my keys at hand I'd say
Empis borealis, based on what I remember of the genitalia...

Thanks for your help Paul
I use to see E. borealis first in spring but males use to have much broader wings than this one.
