Hi,

can someone identify this fly? It was having a meal in the sun yesterday afternoon.

Thank you very much!

Pollenia

Some species overwinter as adults and are common on the first warm days of spring.

Thank you John!

I only knew those Pollenia species with more golden hair on the pronotum - or is it just gone, because the fly is aged?

They can lose the yellow hair. This one still has hair on the side of the thorax.
