Hello Black,
It's a species of Eumerus, but after that it is very difficult to ID it to species from a picture. There are a lot of species in this genus, and especially the females (and this is a female) are difficult to separate!
greetings,

Many thanks Gerard - maybe I'll be able to go further with the specimen.

Looks like a Pipizella (viduata) to me.

Ooops, totally right, thank you Jere!Shock
Black, don't mind the name Eumerus, I got confused with indeed Pipizella! Sad
The rest of the comment stays the same, but it could indeed be P. viduata, although for your region there could be more species that look like this!
Greetings
