J,I found a very similar image of a male Pollenia sp. Your ID was correct! Great work! Thanks!

J.I looked at the images in the link that you provided and Page 2 image 3 resembles this spotting. I wish the abdomen could be seen though. But some of the flies on page 1 do have black and white markings on the abdomen.

Lovely! Please verify! They are hard to ID without a genetic sample.
