Thanks a lot, John, for those details. Is it only the females that have expanded tarsomeres? (That is the case here.)
This is a female close to
Alliopsis silvestris. I do not know the French species.
Expanded female fore tarsomeres appear here and there in the calyptrate flies.
Alliopsis and
Eutrichota and more in the Anthomyiidae. Many Tachinini. Expanded male fore tarsomeres are rare if they occur at all.
