This is very special indeed. Bigoti or better.
Is the pair of small black spots on clypeus present ?
(Check any pluvialis to see what I mean)

Hello ,
here is a ventral shot where we can see what seems to me to be the clypeus and we can distinguish 2 small dark spots on it.
I checked the head under the microscope and I don't see any constriction on the first antennal article.
Best regards.

It is a bit late in the year, but otherwise it has all features of H. bigoti, so that that is what it should be. I am not an expert on southern France phenology
