You are right - the leg colour is wrong :| So a
Xylota indeed, but one with hardly visible spines on the hind femora... I just learn that you have 11
Xylota species in Finland, so one should be the right choice. My Tyrolean
X. ignava (

X. tarda (
http://insecta.pr.../48294.jpg) have a rather similar appearance but seem to have a golden shimmer of short hairs on the thorax that I miss here. So I do not dare a guess...
