It looks like a small blow fly (Calliphoridae). But I don't know a similar species.
I hope you can help me. Frown

Hello, Thijs!

I'm no expert, but for me this one has the general jizz of a worn Pollenia.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hello Jürgen,
Thanks. Yes, I think, that's the only possibility.

Yes, Pollenia are called 'cluster flies' because they hibernate in large groups in cold, dry places to survive the winter. This means that any flying now are likely to be very old, tatty and rubbed, like yours, so they lack the classic curly, golden hair on the thorax Wink

Yes Chris, I've always many in the garden after the winter. This year less than other years. I think because the long cold winter. But with this small pollenia without golden hairs I wasn't sure. I'm always hoping to have a new species to me. Smile

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank
