Hi, I also got a brown fly on 18. of march this year. also taking a sunbath on a light wall.
South-West Germany, Baden-Württemberg, Region Heilbronn, about 240m above NN,
Is it possible to identify? Think its a female?
Thanks for any help or comment.

Pollenia female. The genus can usually be identified by yellow fur. They are common on white walls in the sun this time of year.
