I think this is Eloceria delecta.

According to Theo in previous track this species does not have palps. You could check that easily.

I have seen swarming of Tachinidae before with Siphona and Clausicella. According to Andersen (1982) there is swarming of males in order to facilitate quick fertilization of female.
