I found this fly in the west of France, in August. Could it be a Paraplatypeza ? Is it possible to get an ID at the species level ? Thank you.

I have found this post, that shows a male very similar to my picture. Could it be the same species ? |

Lindneromyia seems a good option. I am not sure if the details will allow species ID.

Thank you  . What are the main diffences between Lindneromyia dorsalis and Lindneromyia hungarica (both seen in France) ? |
