Hello, is it possible to get an ID for this Pollenia? Sighted on 03.08.2025 in Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia in the garden. Thank you. Bernd fatsemann attached the following image:  [33.49Kb] Edited by fatsemann on 13-10-2025 17:23 |

Pollenia rudis, I think: - yellow basicosta - width of frons male and female - colour of thorax & abdomen but I cannot exclude P. angustigena without a sharper view of the legs! Greetings, Eric |

Hi Bernd, yes it helps - there seem to be 2 ad-bristles on tibia 2 of the female and the femur 3 shows no yellow hairs ventrally: more likely Pollenia rudis!
Greetings, Eric |
