Impossible? Norway, maybe 12mm

Did not think of that, been out of the game too long (as if I ever were in :D)
Thank you

A female. The terminalia are red, so narrows the choices. For example
Sarcophaga vagans has this feature and it should be fairly common in Norway. This is not an ID! I would need to see the terminalia from below to say sure.

terminalia in 3 angles

Hmm...
Does it have 3 or 4 post sutural dorso-central bristles? I'm seeing 3 and the first is close to the suture - there also seems to be marginal bristles on the abdominal T3 and the T6 has angular incision, so looks pretty much like
S. vagans.
Would need to see it under the scope to be 100% sure, here in North there are not so many other options.

4 post sutural dorso-central bristles, if I am doing it right.

Ok, not
vagans. Need to think about it.

Ok. If there really is a dorsal fold on the tergite 5, this could be
Sarcophaga (Parasarcophaga) albiceps. However, I don't have any reference material and the females are tricky.

It is a female Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) as there are 2 marginalia on tergite 3 (the second visible, T3), which are missing with S. albiceps. The reddish coloration of the T6 is quite usual. Common interpretation is that this is dependent on temperature during pupation. Also S. albiceps females have a siderow of 5 strong marginals on T6, very distinctive.
