my offer stands, so don't hesitate to request an id on a Pollenia. I spend alot of time identifying and studying Pollenia. I've learned alot from Dr. Rognes. I use his work and extra notes that he has kindly provided to me. The rudis group is the most difficult group to identify. I have no problems with male or female. All you have to do is send me a pm. I'm happy to help you with Pollenia.

the fly in this photo is very tricky. on one hand it resembles pediculata. on the other hand it fits angustigena. genitalia is best in such situations. I have to say that angustigena appears to be a better match but sometimes Pollenia defy the science.

anyway, stay warm and i wish for you to have a pleasant night.
