Is it possible to tell which genus and perhaps species this 6 mm male is?

Photos from 15 Jyly 2012 Nattsjön 62 N, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance

Regards

This is a species of Metopia. Details of head (row of frontal bristles) and fore tarsus (presence of long setae) are not fully resolved, but I would think this is Metopia argyrocephala.
