I can understand Stephane's suggestion, but I think the dusting on the tergites in rubescens is difficult to see from this angle.
Western France is hardly a place for a strict mountaious species as prompta

Any picture from behind might settle this.

Well, that did not weaken Stephane's case !

Still, there are no mountains (> 2000 m. alt.) present, are there ?

In fact, the ground is ... 5 m above the sea level ... and it is nearby (1 or 2 km norther) a huge marsh called "La Brière" which is about ... 1 to 3 m in altitude ! Smile


So, indeed, absolutely no mountains here !! Wink

Many thanks !! Smile

Well, dusting is best seen obliquely from behind, this might be too perpendicular.

So I still think this might very well be P. rubescens, which would make more sense.

But proof it is not.

Looking closer to my pictures of this one, I have to agree : there are tricks of the light ! Smile

Here are three more views of this Tachinid :
