chaetotaxy, facial keel and other features doesn't match griseotomentosa group (griseotomentosa and mayeri).

could simply be a femle rudis but i'd need to see the ovipositor to be certain. many Pollenia range from 6mm-to-11mm, so size isn't necessarily an indicator for a species.

if you really want an id, you can always send it to me.
