Photographed very recently from Zhejiang China. Body length approx. 6mm. What family could it possibly belong in? Thanks!

It is a very weird one, fore tarsus suggests Minthoini and a first search suggests Mongolomintho. Which is a crypticc species.
I need to confirm this, though.

Extra-terrific! Thank you Theo for pointing me to Minthonini and Mongolomintho! TumbsUp It was the first time I photographed this species of fly.

Sorry, it is not Mongolomintho. It might very well be an Oriental species, given the locality. I am not enough familiar with the Oriental fauna. Strongly thickened arista does not agree with Minthoini, it might be something else.

Thank you Theo for the re-examination of the minutest details of this not so good quality picture. Thank you! I'll get backward to the family Tachinidae for the time being.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
