Meanwhile, what name should I put in the ID field (Valery?) where it is published?

For the most recent key to species of Orellia, incl. a new species from Spain, see:
Korneyev V. A. New and little-known Tephritidae (Diptera, Cyclorrhapha) from Europe. - Vestnik Zoologii, 2003 , 37(3): 3-12.

ATTENTION! There is a chance that it is my own species Orellia tragopogonis Korneyev & Dirlbek 2003, recently redescribed by B. Merz. The presence of black spots at bases of prst sa is not visible.

Jos?, i cannot say with certainty, anyway. Males are too similar. I'd say with some reservations that this species is
O. sp. cf.
tragopogonis, and the other species is
O. sp. cf.
falcata.
