Hello, all,
Brachyopa, I presume, but is it possible to be more precise ?
Lac Edouard, Quebec, Canada. June 20th 2011
Thanks for your help

Seems a
Hammerschmidtia ferruginea to me... don't know if
ingrica might occur in Canada, but that species has short haired arista, whereas
ferruginea has plumose arista.

Thanks Andre, That's the one I had spotted as a possible.
I'll check my other photos for "plumosity" :)
BTW, is Hammershmidtia the currently accepted name ?

Brachyopa sp. Habitus doesn't fit Hammerschmidtia
