Hello! I am trying to identify a bug but I'm stuck:

Kinda look like a moskito with those long legs and very thin abdomen, but much bigger (15~20mm), there was a lot of them flying around an apple tree in the south of france, seemed to be interested by the nectar.

It's clearly some kind of diptera, maybe an Anthomyiidae? We thought of Empididae but probocsis isn't right, and it wasn't hunting...

Any idea of what it could be?

Looks like a March fly in the genus Bibio to me!
