Hi Markus. It is male of Pollenia sp., Calliphoridae. Flies of this genus have golden hairs on thorax. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

@Nikita: Hello Thanks for your identification. Is a more exact identification feasible with this insect or isn't not possible that? best regards  markus |

Species level identification of Pollenia requires a good view from several directions. Some species can be identified only be examination of male genitalia. So you are out of luck with this one.

@Kahis: Thanx - thats a word! Here I show another picture, but the perspective is nearly identical unfortunately. Perhaps now an expert sees enough - I hope. Hope dies last. best regards markus Markus Gebel attached the following image:  [64.37Kb] |
