 It reminds me of Euxesta pechumani but the head looks a little wrong.

 Thanks John, but Euxesta-genus belongs not to finish fauna.
But what about Homalocephala biumbrata.

The broad head is a better match for Homalocephala.

I would not hesitate to identify Euxesta because it had not been recorded. At least one of the species is quite widespread and can be expected to reach Finland soon.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
