Looks like it.

Can we get a lateral (head) shot ?

Thanks

Looks OK to me.
I'm not an expert, it resembles eximia but I'm not sure if that species can occur in the Dordogne.

I'm not sure if I'm correctly interpreting M van Veen's online key, but suggests melaleuca? Fauna Europea lists melaleuca, eximia and nigroanalis for France.
