Hi,
can anyone help me identify these Calliphoridae?
I took the photo on 17 June 2014 Kokkola, Finland.
Regars Pentti.

Did you modify the title, right? I remember 'tachinidae?'.
Thanks for the latest photos. They show the (somehow pale) abdomen. It's definitely a blowfly. I suspected
Calliphora sp. with the first photos, and now I confirm it. Now I'm outta home with no keys with me. As soon as I can I will check them.

Very likely a female of
Calliphora subalpina.

Thanks Stephane,
Calliphora subalpina makes sense.

For IDs better not to use too much PP (i.e. changing saturation or contrast can alter the real appearance of some characters).
