Nice picture, excellent detail.
As for the ID, the insect is a true fly. True flies have one pair of wings, the second pair have been reduced to club-like counter weights (these can clearly be seen in the above). The mouthpiece is particularly distinctive. I have a not disimilar fly in my photos (title: unknown fly) and it belongs to the family Conopidae (thick-headed flies) I think that that would be a good place to start for the ID of your insect.
Well done Nicolas, superb effort!
Je ne sais pas non plus mais en tout cas, elle est parfaitement cadrée et la photo est digne de figurer dans un livre spécialisé! Un grand bravo!

I like this one Nicolas,
Very good colours, good composition, very nice, very good job you did. Maybe I little more note, about How you make it.
Très bonne mise au point sur cet étrange insecte qui semble porter un masque !
La composition est bonne, ainsi que la gestion de la PDC. Petit bémol pour la lumière qui me semble un peu dure.
Très belle macro en tout cas !

Hello Nicolas,
Paul Prince was right, it's a Conopidae (Myopa sp., probably M. dorsalis).
Best regards,
Dmitry
