Observed very recently from Zhejiang China. A small (3mm in body length) dipteran with orange-colored abdomen. Family ID possible? Thanks.

Probably subfamily Phasiinae or Dexiinae in family Tachinidae.

Didn't expect it to be a tachinid! Thank you John for the ID! |t

Did a check. The body coloration and wing venation look somewhat similar to Phasia aurulans (

Rondania seems to be a good possibility. Thanks Theo. |t

If this is a
Rondania it is a new record for China. The only species of
Rondania so far recorded from China is
R. cucullata which looks different.
