Arrived at Istocheta in the key at the same time you wrote it Smile
 
skrylten
We only have Istocheta longicornis listed in Sweden.
I will try to take all the photos necessary (if possible) to confirm that ID.
I'll be back later ...

Following "Die Raupenfliegen Mitteleuropas:"
First sternopleural bristles...
 
skrylten
... and "swollen" sub-scutellum => Tachinidae
 
skrylten
1: 3 ia => 2
 
skrylten
2: Bare arista => 19
 
skrylten
19: m-cu almost right-angled, no small bristles on R4+5 => 25
 
skrylten
25: m-vein bent (see image above) => 30
 
skrylten
30: Cell R5 open (see image above) => 56
 
skrylten
56: Other combinations ... => 63
 
skrylten
63: Brigth hairs on the lower back of head => 76
 
skrylten
76: Some hairs as in abb. 8 (see image above) => 77
77: Once again as in abb.8 (see image above) => 78

78: As in abb.8 and eyes with some hairs (see image above)

Istocheta key:

1: Arista thickened to more than half its length => 2
2: Arista thickened to ca 2/3 the length. Distance between subapical bristles almost the same as between basal bristle and subapical bristle (see image above) => 3
 
skrylten
3: "Wangen" narrower than half the eye-diameter (see image above).
Scutellum with hairlike apical bristles (see image above).
Abdomen with discal bristles.

===> longicornis


Please comment if it seems a correct ID !

It is definitely Istochaeta and it looks like longicornis indeed.

Supposed to be nocturnal.

How did you get it ??
