Hello!

Slightly overworn fly on Poison hemlock in my garden, Hungary. What species is it? Thank you in advance.

This is Pollenia (Calliphoridae).

Hm.. I had such an idea too, but I can't see the typical yellowish dense hair on the thorax. Thank you very much for the attention Susan.

You can just see traces on the side of the thorax, where it often remains longer, but this fly is soooooo beat up, I would not expect to see too many wavy yellow hairs remaining :D
