Right ! It is a Pollenia, given the golden curly hairs on the thorax. The special way the abdomen is checkered, gives it away as well (though very difficult to pinpoint how exactly it is special). Anyway, curly golden or grey hairs on thorax is Pollenia. Theo |

Many thanks Theo. In fact I noticed those hairs immediately and thought they must be indicative of something! Sarah |
