Photographed today from Zhejiang China. Very small, 4mm in body length I guess. A Tachinidae species (something like Blondeliini)? Thanks as always!

Tachinidae. The body looks like one of the small Tachininae, e.g. Siphonini, but the point at the upper tip of the antenna is found in tribe Acemyiini (subfamily Exoristinae).
The scutellar bristles are not of the typical Blondeliini form.
