Is this fly possible to ID?
Location 200 km North of Stockholm.
The photo is taken 29 October.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, practically imposible to see. I think Lauxaniidae. Do you have other ones?

Heleomyzidae, I'd say.

Honestly, I thought: are they Lauxaniidae or some small Suillia, but I decided not too pay too much attention. The photo is not close up enough

Paul comments are really good :-)
It's a
Suillia sp. It could be identified without my glasses ;-)
I'm using image zoom 0.4.4. - really comfortable programme for my Firefox browser :-)

My biggest problem is that more and more often I have to put off my glasses in order to see something!

So do I. Zoom it to 200% and you can just see spines on the costa, the absence of a postpronotal seta and definitely heleomyzid-like antennae. No need to take your glasses off at all, even if you are suffering from declining eye-sight. ;)

Thanks for the ID (and for the advice on Image zoom 0.4.4)!

Thanks, Andrzej, but it is really crazy. With the photo of normal size I really cannot see the spines on the costa! But at double zoom I can see it. I am getting old! :(
