Ukraine, Rivne region, on April 29.
Is it possible to say more than the genus Pollenia ?

Hi Victor, Pollenia is always difficult, but this male looks like P. amentaria:
basicosta black
abdomen with weak dusting
no medial stripe on thorax
5-6 pairs of marginal bristles on scutellum
frons wider than P. labialis
