I think it might be
nigricans but do you have any other shots?

Another year, but the same place and month. I think, it is the same species?

Still think it is

Good enough. This would have clinched it for many NW-European dipterist because now you can see the broadened wings of the female and the fact they are completely darkened.

Paul, Igor, thank you else once. I'm really not a dipterist, you see. So it is Empis borealis, I'll remember.

In the future: If you have got a good image (or many) from one angle and perhaps some not so good from another, still include one or more from the other angles. It can be very helpful in identification and no-one will think the worse of you. ;)
