Nice, I didn't know this website! This is of great help,
maybe I won't have to ask on my 3 others specimens waiting for your opinion |t

I can only see one reclinate orbital.

So using www.tachinidae.eu I have only Pales and Nilea that stays. :)

I ruled out Nilea and Clemelis by the colour (black) of palpus (not that I did think specifically of these genus) using Tschornig&Herting, but this might be a southern species with black palpus (color black does not exclude Nilea on Tachinidae.eu)

=> I tried to use Cerretti’s key to go to Nilea species:
But again I am stuck: 2 species has black palpi: Tlephusa cincinna (but 2 reclinate orbital in Tachinidae.eu) and N rufiscutellaris, wich has 4 katerpistal bristle (3 on my specimen).
:S
Scutellum is mostly red on hind margin (and only on margin)
