Norway, 04.05.11, 6-7 mm, if I am not mistaken the fly was blueish in natural light I have run this fly through the keys a couple of times and keep ending up at Oswaldia, so I hope I am right on that. If so, then... here's my problem now: -2 presutural dc on one side, on the other side there is a smaller bristle (not hair) between them. (It is a little unsymmetrical in other features as well.) -hanging bristles above vibrissa, not 'reaching upwards to almost half' -3 pairs of presutural acr, the most posterior pair weaker.. but again, not just hairs confusing.. am I in the wrong genus?

I see very few of these and have always found them to be quite nondescript so I'll pass ... but if it is a male they have quite distinctive genitalia with a surface like black velvet

Looks ok to me. A rather common species in the north. |
