I don't see the modified tarsomeres of
Clinohelea. Quoting Grogan and Wirth (1976):
"4th tarsomere of at least mid and hind legs deeply bilobed, each lobe ending in a stout blunt spine and smaller spines; fore 5th tarsomere greatly swollen in both sexes; fore claws equal, mid and hind very unequal in female"

Thanks you, John ! :)
Unfortunately, my other pictures don't show the tarsomeres :|
What other Genus could it be ? Maybe a
Palpomyia sp. ?
