You keep throwing interesting species !
This seems clearly a Blondeliini.
Length of third antennal segment strongly suggests this is a male. It has two pairs of proclinate orbital setae, though. This narrows it down.

It runs to Leiophora innnoxa, a more southern species but known from 'southern Scandinavia'. Given your current temperatures, you might have it Smile.
I can't establish the number of anterodorsal bristles on mid tibia: it should be 2-3 (and not 1).

Would be a great find
