Size 3-4mm. This specimen collected on Picea trunk (damaged, with resin). Other flies were seen running to and fro on a lying big Populus tremula trunk (with hatching bark beetles).

A lateral view.

Tachypeza sp. I may be able to tell more tomorrow.

And thanks a lot once again Paul,
So this time sticking to Empididae wasn't futile.
OK maybe one day (soon) I'll dive into the (family level) keys... It's much better than pure guesswork

Using Chv?la's 1975 key to Fennoscandian Empidoidea I get to T. heeri. Leg markings are quite characteristic. 'Rather uncommon in northern Fennoscandia'. Further 'Scotland, NW of European USSR, mountains of central Europe, Siberia and Japan'.

Can I add them to the gallery?

Thanks a lot Paul,
Sure you can add them to the gallery.

Thanks! Done.
