This Empididae was found in a marsh close to grassland with some trees close to Stockholm Sweden - in May this year.
Is it possible to say what genus it is or even species from these images? - and if not what info is missing?

From the side, all images are made a bit "lighter" since the specimen looks completely black

Many thanks Igor. I will save the specimen and do a DNA test later this year to see if I can get more clarity
Best regards Ole
