I thought this specimen could be Psilopa nitidula, but the antennas are totally black (and the pictures in gallery show an orange color on the first segment). Could it be Psilopa nitidula ?

Thanks for your answer.

I suspect this is Psilopa polita. Have you a front view of the face?

Alas ! no. I have only side views. Psilopa polita is a good candidate indeed. Antennas are black in this species.
