I'm going to be crazy with them :D
I think it's a Muscidae,
not apex of scutellum yellowish so not a muscina but M gently bent.
Curious drawing on tergite5
I can't say more:(
Who can help me ?
Near Paris, august 16th, 10-12 mm

Very nice pictures Edith ! ;)
A male S. calcitrans it is, you can see the very long pointing proboscis.

Edit -> changed female to male !
