Yes, it is a Dysmachus female, a male could give the answer. I guess it must be something near D. harpax or hamulatus

Thank you very much !
I used this key : http://www.robberflies.info/keyger/htmle/keydysmachus.html
I thought it could be praemorsus but harpax and hamulatus are not in the key, so those species are not present in Germany but in France yes !
I'm glad to know at least the genus !

Both mentioned species are quite common in the south of France. I tried to key your specimen with Engel 1930 but didn't get any closer.
