Hello Miguel,

simply double check the following features:

a lack of golden hairs (on the ventral surface of abdominal tergites, on p and pv surface of f2 and f3) eliminates angustigena, hungarica and luteovillosa

paupera/longitheca is not recorded in Spanish mainland but examination of the av surface of tibia 3 can be used to eliminate paupera/longitheca.

thus, you are left with Pollenia rudis

I am always excited to examine a Pollenia specimen. Thus, you can always send a specimen to me for examination. I really don't mind helping a fellow dipterist.

Best wishes,
John
