Hi,
Is it possible to tell the species of the Tachinidae?

It looks more like a Tachinidae to me, similar to, say, Allophorocera ferruginea. (But this is mostly a guess of an absolute amateur :))
Greetings,
Henrik

Hi Pentti,
Henrik is right: it is similar to Allophorocera ferruginea.
However, it is much too golden yellow.
The eyes are really bare and the humerals again in a triangle.
So Allophorocera is OK, but it is A. rutila.
That is most exciting indeed, since this species is extremely rare all over the Palaearctic, from Switzerland to Japan. I got myself one from Estonia, which is of course relatively close to Finland.
This might be even a first one for Finland ! You need to check this. However, fauna-eu is down at the moment.

Right !
So not mentioned for Finland in the old version (but then again, Estonia is neither).
