This fly was found in a light trap, outside Oslo, Norway.
Not sure what family it is...
Can it be ID'ed?

Great! That's it (at least considering faunaeur.org). There's also
S. pictus that is quite similar, but seems to be absent in Norway.

A difference between the two species is scutellum's hairs, but here's quite hard.

Thanks! I will keep it as
Sphaeromias sp. Both
S. pictus and
S. fasciatus seems to be on the check list in Norway.

Really? Thanks for the update! Using faunaeur.org I was induced to exclude
pictus presence.
