 It looks like Polideini (large pteropleural, hairy eyes, curved apex of vein M, frontals descending low on face). You don't have many of that tribe in Europe, so consider Lypha dubia.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
