This Friday morning I'll fly for 5 days in Sochi, Russia. Here on Black sea I hope to find some interesting Diptera. Meanwhile one more fly from my window in Moscow. Looks as Pollenia female, size ect., but there is no golden hairs on thorax or very few. Doesn't matter?

There still appear to be a few of the golden hairs visible, so Pollenia sounds good to me. Just remember that these are easily rubbed off and that you may encounter hibernating flies that may hardly show any of these hairs dorsally. Latterally on the mesonotum you should always be able to observe at least some.

Thank you Paul. By the way, now I know the answer of the question which leaded me on this forum this spring. It was - What fleis in hundreds come in my country house in autum to spend winter in (http://en.rosfoto.ru/show/photo-23026.htm)? The answer - different flies, but mostly Pollenia sp.
