Bonjour Paul, it looks like this beetle is more likely part of Sitonini tribe rather than Brachyderini.
Please have a look on this web page https://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id155016/ where Strophosoma capitatum is shown in 3D. Posted 5 years ago

    Actually, I think that I'm wrong in suggesting Sitonini as well, eyes and antennas don't match.
    Do you have a top view to help? Posted 5 years ago

        Looks like a Brachyderes to me, will see if I can get to species ...
        P.S. No, scratch that ... too quick ...
        Hmmpffff ... okay, back at Brachyderes after all (didn't see the hair/bristle at the top of the hind tibia that it should have) - should be Brachyderes incanus imho.
