Hi,
I found this Pollenia sp. on Sept. 30, 2013 in the Danube inundation area in Vienna, Austria ("Lobau"Wink. Can one tell which species it belongs to?
Best regards, Konrad

To have a small chance to get a Pollenia species ID from photos you need a series of very good detail pictures, best of a male. Look at the key in https://quelestce...132016.pdf to get an idea what characters are decisive. I do not dare a guess here, sorry.
