Hello,

Found yesterday in Paris, size about 10 mm.
I'm thinking about a Cheilosia, but from there, I'm lost.
Thanks for any help.

definitely Cheilosia. It MIGHT (I stress might, because these flies are very difficult from photos) be C vulpina, with those patches of light hairs on the abdomen.

Hello,

Thanks for the idea.

Cheilosia are so daunting that I'm always waiting for some idea before diving in the key.
