Is it possible to tell genus and perhaps species of this 5 mm long yellow legged fly?

Thanks for your help in advance

A female Bibio (apical spines on anterior tibiae) ! Identification to species level difficult : the antennal flagellum of apparently 5 joints (more or less visible on left antenna in second image) would run to Bibio nigriventris, and colour pattern would also agree wiith this species. However no certitude without seing the specimen...
