Ciao,
Perhaps Cephini, because the respective length of 3rd and 4th articles of the antennas (if I saw well).
To further go it would be necessary to see the last tergite, the number of pre-apical spines and other details.
Can be (with a large doubt…) Cephus cultratus ?
Consult the various keys which I sent to the Forum.
Saluti.

Thanks a lot Jean-Pierre for your wondeful keys!!
Here is the photo of antenne
and this is abdomen a middle between cultratus and pygmeus
I haven't a powerful binocular but the hind tarsal claws seem to be of pygmeus
