From midwest Sweden 2006-07-11. I think it might be a Tachinid in the
Phryxe genus ...
Edit: Changed subject (Phryxe sp?)

Hi Crex,
You are close. It is Pales (and I think you only have P. pavida).
Pales is slightly bluish on abdomen and has strong bristles on the facial ridge.
Phryxe has erect apical scutellar bristles, and those are clearly not erect in these nice pictures.
However, for 'ordinary' people all these Goniini / Eryciini are very close indeed, and they are !
thanks for sharing the pics
