This small Brachycera was found in a wood close to a wetland just outside Stockholm Sweden beginning of June this year. The "coloring" is very distinct but unfortunately the wings got damaged when i caught it with a net. Is it possible to say what genus it is? - or even what species it can be?

3rd antennal segment elongate, thus apparently not Chlorops. I would consider Metopostigma polonica.
