I think it's a female Villa hottentotta - probably laying eggs near it's host Agrotis exclamationis.

Bergsten, J., L.G.R. Nilsson & R. Bukontaite 2015.
Åkerjordfly, Agrotis exclamationis, identifierad som värdart för svävflugan Villa hottentotta med hjälp av dna streckkodning (Diptera: Bombyliidae).
– Entomologisk Tidskrift 136: 121-130.

Greetings, Eric Kloeckner
