Comparing to that Phaonia angelicae in the gallery

Is my camera wrong or can it be different colors on the body
Anyway, many thanks

The specimen in the gallery is not the best example because it has lost all its dusting. Your fly has the normal yellow/grey colour of a not worn Phaonia angelicae, perhaps with a slight greenish hue due to the photograph.
