Can you give me a name for this strange fly? Look the strange antennae at the end of a peduncle.

Caught in my garden, Zaragoza, Spain, sucking flowers of sage (Salvia officinalis). Size: 7-9 mm less or more.

Thanks in advance.

No conopid but Ceriana vespiformis, a syrphid. :D

Wow! Thanks you very, very much. It looks very similar to some conopids!

I had two family mistakes in only one day :p I don't know many the dipterans...
