A last one for today... :D
For this
Myopa sp couple, I think about
Myopa extricata. Is it possible to confirm ?

Benoit,
I think you have arrived in the right couplet for identifying this species, either
M. extricata or
M. tessellatipennis. Do you have a detail or another view of the head? It is difficult to say exactly what the colour of the palps is, but from what I can see you are probably right (the palps appear to be pale).

Here are the picts :
Maybe I'm wrong, but palpae are brown, so, it would be
M. tesselatipennis ?
(Thanks to the Myopa key on Mark van Veen's website)
Hope this will help !
Yours,

You hit the nail right on the head, dark palpi ->
tessellatipennis.
