Would be my first guess. Without seeing microtrichia on wing, difficult to exclude chloropus for sure.

Thanks! Maybe these pictures can be helpful. A wing from both sides.

Morten - Yes I agree with O. chloropus - but these Norwegian pics show differences from the specimens I have caught in the last few weeks which have a shiny polished black thoracic disc, scutellum and frons. Perhaps we should swap specimens and do a comparison .... Iain .

Thank you so much!
Iain: .... or I can send this along with the other flies I will send at the end of the season.
