In Flies of China one gets to
Lispe orientalis only by following alternative "各足胫节均灰黑色" (all tibiae entirely gray-black). In Xue and Wang (2005) this keys to
Lispe orientalis.

Comparing with scale (1 mm on photo) total body length about 4.5 mm, correct?
All tibiae yellow which exclude L. orientalis (https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=3582). Lateral photo with tibial chaetotaxy would be helpful, so far I vote 1 : 10 that it is L. pectinipes.

Dear Clive, leg chaetotaxy is still badly visible. But it is L. pectinipes.

Leg chaetotaxy is still unclear. However, I'm almost sure that it is L. pectinipes.
