Yes, Pollenia is a possibility. Do you have any other shots?

I agree with Pollenia. A positive id is not possible with these photos but it sure looks dainty to me, so pediculata is possible. you should collect it next time and check the underside of the wing for pale hairs (as depicted by my photo in the gallery).
