Hi, Rui!
I think this is a female
Pollenia. If I am right in my suposition, I am afraid there is very little chance to tell the species :(

Thanks Piluca! Although I can’t see any of those curly golden hairs typical of Pollenia. In my experience even the worn specimens always have at least some remaining hairs.

Yes, that is exactly what gives me that little hint of doubt ;) But I cannot think what else it could be :(
Let's wait for the experts ;)
