Winthemiini?
I think tribe Winthemiini (hairy eyes, long second segment of antenna, long ovipositor). Can you check if there are hairs on the katepimeron and if so move to tribe?

No hairs on katepimeron
As far as I can see, there are no real setae or stiff bristles on the katepimeron – just the super-fine felt-like fuzz that covers most of the body.

Fuzz is enough
See Manual of Nearctic Diptera figure 170 (Tachinidae chapter). This should be a Nemorilla; I'll have to compare later.

But it's more like Fig. 169...
...than Fig. 170. However, the katepimeron does not have any long hair/bristles/setae that resemble those represented in either of these figures. And the fuzz I'm talking about is so minute it makes the bristles/setae shown in both figures look like skyscrapers. So these characters more closely resemble those of Chrysotachina alcedo than they do Winthemia fumiferanae.

Picture?
Can you add a picture of the katepisternum and katepimeron?

I'll try...
