Hello,

a female Musca. In Finland it should be Musca autumnalis.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Not a Musca. The arista is not feathery, and the shape of the frontal vitta is different as well as the number of frontal bristles (compare https://www.dipte...d_id=18723). To me, the fly looks somewhat "sarcophagidish".
