Bee
Appears to have four wings so it is not a fly. More likely it really is a Hymenopteran of some sort.

Diprionidae
Thank you for the answer, it gave me a starting point to search...

I did more researches on the Internet and it seems to be a species from the diprionidae family (if anyone can confirm). I haven't found the exact sp. for now,but it seems to be a female.

I agree.
This is a female diprionid, possibly the European pine sawfly, a now-common introduced species.

Gilpinia hercyniae
Yes, it really looks like the European spruce sawfly (Gilpinia hercyniae).
