    Medieval Litts looked more Northwestern Euro before being bastardized by the Rooskies.

    They do resemble each other, but at the same time look pretty different. Also Lithuanians have more dark hair than Finns.

    There is a considerable chunk of Finns that exhibit types that are likely totally alien for Lithuania.

    Probably there are some people who would pass though it's not majority, but Finns have unique look so for sure just a several percent would pass just as atypical

    Lithuanians have a Slavic look and Belarusians have a Baltic look. They are exchangeable.

    Both have Eastern Indo-Europeans, but Belarusians have more Central European admixture (haplogroup I2b) since Lithuanians have more Finnic admixture (haplogroup N1c).
    Highest rates of Eastern Indo-European genes are found in Lechitic Slavs (Poles, Kashubians, Sorbs etc.)

    My understanding is that Lithuanians have almost zero Finnic admixture, because Baltic Finnic languages are much younger than Baltic N1. Savonian and Karelian branches diverged from the root 4500 ybp and Southwest-Finnish/Estonian branch 3600 ybp. According recent studies Finnic languages reached Baltic area in early Iron Age. Whatever happened in North Russia during the Bronze Age led to Baltic N1.
