Secondary segmentation is consistent with Anisopodidae, Thereveidae, or Scenopinidae.

The headcapsule with this long dorsal extension is typical for Therevidae and Scenopinidae.If the apical end of this dorsal extension is spatulate than it is a Therevidae, if not a Scenopinidae.

Hello tlegrand,

Then I would say it will be Therevidae Thereva sp. probably T. nobilitata. The commonest and most widespread species which is found also in gardens.
