I found this fly in the west of France, in August. Could it be a Paraplatypeza ? Is it possible to get an ID at the species level ? Thank you.

I have found
this post, that shows a male very similar to my picture. Could it be the same species ?

Lindneromyia seems a good option. I am not sure if the details will allow species ID.
