Could this be a Rhamphomyia male (maybe dentipes)?
Size approx. 4-5 mm, photographed close to the shore in Bodø, northern Norway. Date is 04.06.12.

I get it to R. dentipes with beibenko, dentata and intermedia seems to be two other simmilar species

Ok, thanks! I've compared to a drawing of genitalia in a key by Mike Hackston, and it's similar to dentipes I think. But don't know how dentata and intermdia looks like (dentata not known from Norway it seems, and don't find anything on intermedia)

Thank you for identification! Did not know that dentipes and pilifer are the same species.
