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

I think Tachinidae. |

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. Theo |

Extra-terrific! Thank you Theo for pointing me to Minthonini and Mongolomintho! 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. Theo |

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. |
