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 ! :)
So, indeed, absolutely no mountains here !! ;)
Many thanks !! :)

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 ! :)
Here are three more views of this Tachinid :

I think dusting on tergites is more visible ...
