Thx !
Shining black abdomen should point to P. amentaria ?

Used the "Pollenia key" in "Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica Volume 24".

First one to key out is P. amentaria with "abdomen shining black" and "scutellum with 5-6 pairs of strong marginal pairs of setae".

Different opinions are welcome ...
