At first sight, I thought it was another T. fera, but looking more closely...
Montagne Sainte-Victoire (Bouches du Rh?ne, France) April 3rd 2008.
12 mm

TIA for your help

The abdomen seems very red, more like Peleteria - do you have any better shots of the face? I could convince myself that there are Peleteria-bristles but it is hard to be sure. ;)

There are, moreover, the ocellar bristles are lacking, so this really is Peleteria.

Well, I have a few more pictures, but all from the same angle; When I tried to move around, it flew off!
Thanks for your help

Oh, I have little doubt it is P. rubescens female.
