Hi,

Without a proper close up of the posterior part of the head it will be very difficult I think. So far it looks like there are no black bristles, if so it can be one of the following species I guess: Bombylius cinerascens, B. minor or B. posticus.

With yellow tibiae it could be, with a big question mark, B. minor?

I'm no Bombyliidae expert, let alone someone that know the French species, best to contact a French expert I reckon.

Best, Jonne
