 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?

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
