Indeed a Tachinid: Dinera.

Are you sure about the size ?
It looks like D. ferina, in which case it should be 10 mm. or bigger.

Thanks ! :)

indeed i'm not sure about the size ... my first idea was a bigger one but the yellow heart of the flower seemed to be smaller in my souvenir ; so i probably minimized the real size ! it might be bigger than 7 mm !
