Really Jaakko, I'd never seen that !
Anyway, the anterior spiracle is yellow as well in the pic, so it really is vicina.
Species other than vicina and vomitoria are man-avoiding in my experience. Genarum should be rather common in northern Scandinavia. It is much smaller and might even be overlooked as Calliphora.

According to Rognes' key (or rather his description of uralensis), the anterior spiracle of uralensis sometimes IS pale.
