Very grateful for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.
Best regards.

Thank you very much Stephane, edit the title according to your information.
I think in the Pollenia, it is very difficult to reach species. Having the insect, could you come to identify the species.?
Best regards from the south of Spain.

The lower calypter seems very strongly infuscated for amentaria. Are there southern European species in which this is normal?
