I assume it's Tachinidae, but then what ...

Phryxe sp?

Hard for me to say ... not Phryxe I think ... it looks long and dark so maybe Lydella, but it's a very wild guess :)

Thanks Chris. I hope I can get Theo's opinion ...

Lydella seems a good suggestion.
It is a female, which makes it very difficult to ID from picture.
The wing venation suggests L. stabulans, however, the length of the third antennal segment more L. thompsoni.

So I'd need to see the specimen, to be more precise

I checked the list at Artportalen and we (in Sweden) only have these Lydella it seems:

- Lydella grisescens
- Lydella ripae
- Lydella stabulans
