A Senotainia.

Can you make out the colour of the palpus ?

Many thanks Theo, I have reverse keyed it and comes out fine for Senotainia, I had included the preapical when asking for mid-tibial bristles so went down the wrong path. The palps are black and it keys out as S.conica in Sarcophagidae of Fennoscandia and Denmark.
