Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Asilidae fly for ID

I originally posted this inquiry in the Diptera forum not being aware that the fly was an Asilidae (thanks to Jeroen K for pointing this out). I have re-posted the pictures here.

Is it possible to obtain an ID please? The pictures were taken in my car in Burgundy, central France.

This is a single fly found in the car at the same time.

Copula, something like Machimus/Tolmerus group. The single one is a male with typical genital (hypopygium). Looks a bit like Neomochtherus/Cerdistus sp. (Genital doesn't look like that.....:|)
