 Hello,
March 28, 2024 in the south of France.
Body length 13 mm.
On the sides of the abdomen, white and black pilosity.
I think it's an Empis male, but can you confirm and can we get to the species?
Thank you for your advice.

 Could it be Empis ciliata?
Or are there any other similar species in the south of France?
I have other photos if you need additional criteria.

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
