Of course they can't be pure "something" as everything in Eurasia and they have some Siberian admixture, just because they live close to it. But at the same time, I think people from Volga-Ural and Northern Dvina areas are the best candidates to be EHG carriers (at least by percentage). Otherwise, as I said before, we put ourselves in an endless recursion, whereas all samples, like Loschbour, La Brana and probably Motala, which intended to be a reference of pure WHG have as much (or just a bit less) EHG as the most EHG admixed region in Europe (Baltic). So it's definitely not Baltic Or I understand the basic logic somehow wrong and pervertedly.
The Eastern Euro-rich peoples (Mordvins, Finns) are also close to EHG on PCA, maybe even closer than Baltics. But in admixture (and some formal stats, for example here - extended data fig.7) they show some tendency to East Eurasian, so they move that way on PCA, whereas Baltics are West Eurasian only. So I think Baltic is West Eurasian and EHG-like rich. The Corded peoples probably moved to the region and mixed with local Latvia_MN population, which was on EHG-WHG line unlike other neolithic Europeans.
