Is it possible to ID this Hybomitra species?

Hi!
It looks like a species from the Erberi group to me. So if I'm right, then the name is H. expollicata (you have no other alternatives in Sweden).

I agree with Sergiy.
I am very surprised to see this species so far north, however, it has been reported before from Sweden.
Great find !

Wow, thanks to both of you for your kind help! I thought it would be impossible to ID and then it turns out to be a rare species :D
It is redlisted as VU in Sweden and furthermore it seems to be the by far northernmost finding in Sweden.
