Stockholm, Sweden, August 20. A smallish fly (7-8 mm) which I beleive is a Sphaerophoria virgata, but would be grateful if someone could confirm or correct.

Regards

Johan

Thank you Andre! Sorry for my ignorance but does "spec" mean confirmed species or not possible to confirm. :|

Not possible to confirm. The identification stops at the genus level.
