Thank you very much for your help.

There are some pics that I have taken:

I'm a little bit confusing, because I only see one presutural supra-alar seta (instead of two=rudis group)

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.
