I meet this fly in south of Alsace (France, near the swiss frontier) 28/4/2007, in a wet forest.
No idea of the family :(
Thank for your help

A male Brachyopa, Syrphidae. You'll need the pros to get the species.

Thank you,
I searched many families but not Syrphidae !
With my key and a better picture taken by my wife, I doubt between insensilis and bicolor. Right ?

The humeri are greyish, so I'd say: cf. pilosa.
