Hi
A second specimen of bee-fly caught in the same place as
this one. Such as the previous bee-fly, can it be
Bombylius cinerascens ?
Thank you in advance.
Found in Bois de Vincennes (Paris, Île-de-France, France) on the 24th of April 2021
Body length : around 7 mm

Hi Axel, we cannot see rows of black bristles behind the eyes but see the 2-3 black bristles before the wings: you are right, both of your flies are males Bombylius cinerascens.
