Probably (Machimus-group)Tolmerus cf atricapillus female, there are a lot of look-a-likes. Check if following species are known from Finland: T. strandi T. micans T. pyragra..... (Beard contains more white bristles then ususal for T. atricapillus)

Thanks a lot!
Tolmerus atricapillus sense. It’s more common in the area.
Only two species of Tolmerus-family are found in Finland.
T. pyragra not in the area.

Hi,
There have been 437 sightings of
Tolmerus atricapillus recorded across the country, but only 27 for
T. pyragra, all limited to a small region in the south-east.
Thanks a lot!
Regards Pentti.
