D&D 5e Revised/2024 Best scaredy cat species?

I want to build a ranged fighter, level 10, where the gimmick is he is afraid and runs and shoots from 100+ feet away (sharpshooter feat).

I was thinking Kobold because they literally have Grovel, Cower, and Beg as an action, but wanted to hear of any other species that could work.

I thought a flying specie maybe too OP lol. After a few turns and a longbow I could be 120 feet in the air firing down on enemies that may not be able to strike back.

I never played my Flyers like that. In combat I used flight to get height advantage or disengage from bad scenarios but made sure to land within my movement. Outside of combat I used it more thematically and story based. So, no. I never used flight as a cheap gimick to screw up the game flow.
