Hi Morten, though I'm far from beeing an expert I've tried to find that interesting fly in het "Veldgids Dazen van Noordwest-Europa" and stopped at female Hybomitra arpadi. Many characters fit - is this one known for the Telemark region?

Greetings, Eric

This is the female H. bimaculata, the abdominal pattern is distinctive.

@Eric you misjudged the palpus, it is difficult to see (check last pic: swollen at base)

@Morten Please check your PM.
