I think that this nocturnal visitor belongs to the Culicidae. Is the species possible to determine ?

It is a female mosquito. If the photo was taken in Western Europe, I'd say it was Culex, but I can't tell which species.

The photo was taken in Normandy, NW France. Thank you very much for Culex determination.
