The thorax with a dark median stripe between acrostichals - so I would say P. vagabunda is worth considering?

But genitail are the only sure way with most of these

I think the dark median stripe in P. vagabunda is much more distinctive. I wouldn't dare to go further than Pollenia sp.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek

Mmm.. I would be happy with Pollenia cf. vagabunda.

I have two male vagabunda specimen, and the stripe is not as clear as the one in the photo, but content to stand corrected.

would welcome others thoughts, or specimens?
