Hello,

here are three pictures of Pollenia sp. Maybe someone can identify the exact species. Pictures from March 2022. habitat sandy dry grassland in southwest Germany.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Bembix, this is probably a female Pollenia angustigena:
- basicosta pale
- fore tibia: 2 pv bristles
- mid tibia: 1 ad bristle
- palpi dark(?)
- cannot see, whether it has yellow or black posteroventral hairs on mid and hind femur
