 Hi Christophe,
I'm almost sure it is Phaonia pura (compare with my pictures in the gallery) :
Ash-grey species with long haired arista (can you confirm ?), long pra, 4 post dc, no prac, black legs (but reddish knees), hairy eyes, white calypters and spiracles ; and (to be confirmed) : haired notopleuron and katepimeron.
