Picture taken in September near the river in my neighborhood (East China: Zhejiang province). Body length approx. 4mm. Could it belong to the Muscoidea Superfamily? Many thanks in advance!

Kind of similar to Pteromicra. Perhaps Sciomyzidae? Smile

That was my though as well, at first. However, there seems to be a strong transverse suture on thorax ...

Yes, the thorax seems to have a transverse suture. Thank you for pointing it out! TumbsUp

Not Muscoidea, not Sciomyzid

I do not see vibrissae, and the mesonotal suture is indeed puzzling, but still - how about Piophilidae?
