You can see that wing vein M is sharply bent and the fly has fine golden hair on the thorax. Quite a lot has worn off from the dorsal surface, but the sides are still thick with it. Also the brownish calypter fits Pollenia. Once you are looking for clues to it being Pollenia, you will also notice that you can just make out the tessellated abdominal pattern.

I believe a lot of my specimens may be this genus, but I have yet to find a Calliphoridae key that fits my budget.  Thank you Susan, this one is a keeper, going to my ID bookmark! |
