Hello Benoit,

Most of us have fallen into that trap at least once. Though the fly has several markings in the wing it is no tephritid. Small flies with narrow, patterned wings often are Opomyzidae. This species is Geomyza tripunctata. Sometimes it can develop into a pest. Some French pictures are here: http://www.inra.f...l00009.htm.
