This fly was 5-6 mm. Is it possible to tell family and perhaps genus?

Thank you very much Tony.
It seems that we have only eximia in Sweden.

The other species,
veternosa, occurs in Finland, and as the adults are rarely caught, I wouldn't dismiss this possibility just yet. Unfortunately I don't have a key to the species.
