Location: About 65 km NW of Stockholm, Sweden
Date: 2006-AUG-31
Habitat: Meadow near shallow sea
Size: 5-10 mm
Excuse these blurry images. I thought perhaps the blueish abdominal pattern wasn't so common that it might be possible to ID anyway ...
Thanks in advance!

I see that there are 44 species of
Platycheirus in Sweden, Is it safe to call this one
P. albimanus!?

Difficult.. the second picture supposes a protruded face, which may tell us it's a different species. But as you said, it's blurry.. :(
