 This Brachycera was found in the Swedish mountains around +700m above sea level mid august 2025. Close to a small creek. Is it perhaps an Empididae? - and if so is it possible to say what subfamily or even genus it belongs to?
Wing about 4-6 mm head, thorax and feet are black.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
