Can anyone recommend a mid range one *known* to work with Linux, including

Not sure what your target budget is for 'mid range' and what your use
case is.
I got a Logitech C270 a while ago, it's USB, 720p and has a microphone
and works out of the box with Linux. It does have a microphone as well.
It's around 25 Euro on Amazon.
I had bought this for work-from-home video calls because I have an
external monitor attached to a laptop and when presenting from that
monitor and using the laptop's webcam I would look awkward looking off
at the external one, so the C270 would go on the monitor (it has a kind
of 'mount').
I hardly ever used the microphone but I _was_ able to use it with JACK
as an input, and it shows as hw:WEBCAM.
Do take into account that the webcam will only provide a mono audio in
so you will need to select a different sound-card for output in jack.
Of course I wouldn't expect to do 'studio' work with it, but the
microphone's quality seemed pretty decent for voice.
Hope this helps.
