Hello,
A Therevidae male found in north of France (Picardie - Somme) 10/06/2016 near woods.

www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/image/dos171/big/thereva_11_12_mm.jpg
Simon Barbier : France : Ailly-sur-Somme : 80730 : 10/06/2016
Altitude : 84 m - Taille : 10 - 12 mm


May be Thereva fulva or Thereva cinifera ?

Thank you for the help.
Simon

My guess would be T. nobilitata, but I am not an expert...
