Very interesting. Did you catch it?
It is a species of the 'rupium' group, very difficult to distinguish from a picture.
My first guess in this case would be picea though. But keep it cf please.

Start collecting dear Kurt. Sweden is a big country and needs more collecting of its very interesting fauna!
