Are the palpi black? Chamaemyiids are risky, especially females. But using Bei-Bienko, the combination 1)palpi black; 2)tibiae and tarsi yellow and 3) yellow spot near base of arista on 3rd segment of antenna, quickly keys out C. emiliae, which is an eastern species that is listed in the finnish draft catalogue. Might be correct? Maybe Steve Gaimari has something to say about this?
