Maybe this is genus Empis? Close to 10 mm, photographed outside my apartment in Bodø, northern norway. Date is 28.05.2011.

Empis has R4+5 forked. I don't know if there are any Empidinae other than Rhamphomyia with R4+5 simple. |

Thanks for your explanation. Also I wrote Empidae, guess Empididae is the correct family name... |

Rhamphomyia (Rhamphomyia) sp. Possibly a species of the Albosegmentata group, but unfortunately I have never seen any life ones so I cannot be certain. They can look differently after being on a pin for a while or in alcohol.
