Damn fly escaped my exgauster.
Looking at photo I can't even guess family. Ulidiidae? Sciomyzidae?

Hi.

Believe or not, this is a syrphid. The genus Brachyopa is well known for not looking the part; it is often clasified as a muscid by those who have not seen it before (yes, I did that too...). Brachyopa is not the easiest species to identify. If the photo was taken near dead spruce (Picea sp.), I'd vote for Brachyopa testacea.

I believe. I had to remind Paul's Brachyopa here two weeks ago, another species, but anyway...
Thank you Kahis.

1. To Kahis: Brachyopa sat on the fence from Picea or Pinus wood, there was several young Picea damaged by spring grass-fire in 20m.
2. To Paul: could you move it to Syrphidae forum.
