| |  cluster fly id?
Hi
I'm fairly sure this is a Pollenia sp. but are there similar species or can it easily be identified as rudis? 
Thanks
Iain

Very nice shot. Bit of a pain, these. Probably need a copy of Rognes Fenno-Scandia book and a microscope to sort out properly. However, this is WAB, so someone might have a go!

ssssshhhhh! but you appear to be able to view this book entirely at google books! Interesting. Very expensive to buy.

Not only is it expensive, but even worse, unobtainable.
I have used the google books version and luckily the section I wanted was covered. Haven't checked for Pollenia though.

Thanks for the pointers, I've had a quick look at the bits of the book but think I'll chalk this one up as a generic cluster fly
Many Thanks
