I took a photo of this fly in 11 july in Southern Sweden, I thought it was a Tachinid and it looks a lot like Bactromyia aurulenta but it is more golden and the wing ribs doesn´t seem to fit. Can somone help me with the ID of this fly?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, thought so. Winthemia bohemani or similar.

Thanks Theo!
The legs are all dark. Very golden dusted. It looks very much like this one that was decided to Winthemia speciosa, se this thread: https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=71739&highlight=Winthemia+speciosa&pid=301985
Is it the 2 ad on the mid tibia that are visible on the front photo above?
What do you say?

Yes, that might very well be it. I was on holiday and had no access to my literature.
