This fly was found dead and was 18 mm. Is it possible to tell species?

Danny Wolff offered an easy character for separating C. gilva and C. ignea: Have a look on the first sternite, which is shiny in C. gilva and brown tomentos in C. ignea

Thanks Dysmachus. To be sure, this 1st sternite is shiny? Sometimes descriptions aren't always clear.
