Pollenia
Nikita Vikhrev
This Friday morning I'll fly for 5 days in Sochi, Russia. Here on Black sea I hope to find some interesting Diptera.
Meanwhile one more fly from my window in Moscow.
Looks as Pollenia female, size ect., but there is no golden hairs on thorax or very few.
Doesn't matter?

There still appear to be a few of the golden hairs visible, so Pollenia sounds good to me. Just remember that these are easily rubbed off and that you may encounter hibernating flies that may hardly show any of these hairs dorsally. Latterally on the mesonotum you should always be able to observe at least some.
