I photographed a similar-looking Tachinidae in late June last year in east China, which I identify to the genus level as Phasia.

please don’t post different specimens in one thread, it gets a mess rapidly (like here).
The Luneburg specimen is Ph. cf. pusilla. If you can check whether the halter is yellow or dark, that would help.

The Chinese one is clearly not Phasia, but Leucostoma or Calyptromyia.

Thank you Theo for the correction! I simply mistook my specimen for a Phasia. You are absolutely right in pointing out that posting images of different specimens would cause a mess sooner or later. I'll refrain from doing that again! Thank you anyway. TumbsUp

The halteres are dark, so that confirms pusilla, I think.
