Maybe Lucilia caesar, with a big question mark. I am not totally convinced they are the same species either.

Nice wide frons, lots of longish hairs on the underside of the arista both support caesar, but there is still a question mark. I'd like to get a good clear look at all three tibia and a dorsal view of the thorax.

Thanks Susan, I tried to take dorsal views, but they all were out of focus in windy condition. I have more photo's from same flower, but they might be from different female and not enough different angles. I have some more to show in time, if you still like to play with these Lucilia's.

I think it is either caesar or illustris, but I don't have enough experience to be confident which. I note that Rognes says that caesar is much more synanthropic in the south of Finland, and closer to the northern edge of its range, whereas in the north it is illustris that is the more synanthropic.
