It is either nudifrons or rotundatum.
On the crucial part of the frons there is some strange light, so I wouldn't dare to guess which one.

Mine was just a quess, based on the fact that almost 100% of these guys in Finland are nudifrons. Rarely some clavatum and one location with dolycoridis. But that's my nationalist bias.:D

Shouldn't this genus be revised anyways... Never fully understood the justified differences between rotundatum and nudifrons.
