Hi

A few days ago I found several of this kind of bee-flies. Van Veen's identification key leads me to Bombylius minor but this key lacks species (at least B. posticus that may ressemble). Is it possible to confirm the ID ?

Found in Parc départemental de la Haute-Île, Neuilly-sur-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France.
On the 5th of September, 2023
Body length : 8-9 mm : Wing length : ~11 mm.

Some details (no black hairs along the hind border of the eyes, yellow bristles implanted before the wing):
