Seen very busily foraging on patches of invasive Solidago gigantea next to a well-wooded stream flowing through open meadows. A common fly on sunny summer days.

Yes, female Pollenia but difficult to say more from the image.

Hi Ray, it's not amentaria and not vagabunda and if my eyes don't deceive me and basicosta is black, posterior spiracle is dark brown I guess it could be P. labialis. To be more confident you need very sharp photos - an older and less hairy fly could help to see all the important bristles.

Hello Ray,

just a short remark. It is not cf. Pollenia labialis, but Pollenia cf. labialis, because the genus Pollenia is not doubtful, only the species labialis.
Best regards,
Jürgen
