Hey,
is this Chrysops divaricatus? Legs are entirely black. I looked it up in the gallery, but i´m not sure if there are similar species around.
greets,
Jakob

Yes. It is a boreal species, not rare in Sweden and the Baltic States, but clearly rare in Central Europe and possibly disappearing due to climate change.
Interesting record !
