Am I OK with Didysmachus picipes for this female Asilinae? The ventral edge of the ovipositor seems straight. I can't see any strong bristles on the ventral side of the front femurs (ie I think I can eliminate Dysmachus fuscipennis). Do these pics give me enough to go on? It was photographed on 21 August 2014 on the rough grassy south-east facing slope of a limestone ridge in the Touraine Loire Valley, so the habitat fits for D. picipes I believe.
