It looks like a Philygria species, but I'm not sure which one.

Is Philygria femorata also named Philygria posticata (Meigen, 1830)?

At one time femorata was synonymized with posticata, but then it was re-established as a good species. As far as I know, neither species has been recorded in Denmark, but femorata is known from Sweden. I think that separating the species is best done by dissection.
