Hi, Bibio females are difficult or impossible to identify and usually you will need minimum dorsal and lateral views. But I think I exclude reticulatus, which has hyaline wings and johannis, which has a short head and almost hyaline wings. (Verbeke key)
I guess it could be varipes - on your first image I think I see a light haltere. But it's is not sure!
