Pollenia spec. female, Calliphoridae indeed.

Thank you Theo:)

I didn't think of that genus because I assumed that all Pollenia had brown hairs in the thorax.

IN most cases, these brown hairs are golden.
And they are present, have a good look at your photo.
But it's an old individual, in which case often many of these hairs are lost.
