This Brachycera was found in the Swedish mountains (altitude about +700m above sea level) July 2025 in a dense spruce forest close to a small ditch. It has been preserved in alcohol so the colors have changed a bit compared to the natural ones.
Is it possible to say what genus it could be so I could start looking for a key. Could it perhaps be a Empidoidea?
Not sure why this post ended up in Asilidea forum, perhaps my profile is linked to that?

The front bones (image under) are red but with darker tarsus, large double claws
