Hello everyone,

I am sending you these photos to identify this species.
I followed the keys online http://www.robberflies.info/keyger/htmle/key.html and the book, but it is not there.

I captured this specimen in the south-east of France, near Lyon (Loire-sur-Rhone) on July 30, 2021.
Size : 28mm.

Thank you for helping me !
Best regards,

Benoît
