Family Syrphidae
I really have no idea of what is this. It was resting on a leaf, I thought it was a cocoon or a pupa. But, when I touched it, it extended its head and started to move (photos 2, 3 and 4). My guess is that it is the larva of some beetle (a grub), but it could also be any other thing... Guess anyone?

It moved from the middle to the edge of the leaf.
Did the whole thing move or just one end? I wonder if it was something beginning to pupate.
