Hello!

A 7 mm fly from the UV light, July-03, northwest Germany. Tachinid or Calliphorid?

Thanks, I suspected something like that... Pollenia is ubiquitous here at the moment, but on this one I could not really see any golden hair (which is recognizeable mostly on even very worn specimens), so I hoped it was something other...

Yes, sometimes it's difficult to see golden hairs in Pollenia as shown in the first photo. Nevertheless you can still see some small sparse golden hairs.
