Hello kuv,
such a facial keel is a good indication of a male Pollenia pediculata.
you'd need to check the underside of the wing to be scientifically accurate.

Thank you very much John :).
A shot of that underside point is really difficult! (...and I think the fly will not like it. :D)

The underside of the wing is important,because some mistakes are made with wing vein variations.It isn't as easy to Id as other flies.Blow-flies are variable.
