Hi there,
Here are two photos of the same individual taken in an urbanized area around Paris (Houilles, 78800, France).
I am quite a novice at identifying Culicidae species. Based on what I read on the internet, the resting position with an angle is a characteristic of Anopheles sp but the short palps remind Culiseta sp., perhaps longiareolata...
Is there a more expert eye that could provide more details on this ID?

It is a
Culex female, but I'm unsure which species.

Thanks Tony! It seems I am not good at identifying these mosquitoes...
