ID please. I found this appr. 6mm fly, reminding me of Stomorhina obsoleta, but seemingly different, at a university campus in Shenzhen, Southern China, 50m above sea level. Di you know the species from these picrtures? Thank you so much, Jörg

Could be a Rhinia.

Thank you very much, Theo. Rhinia sp. sounds rather convincing, although I cannot find a lot on them on the web. However, it looks very similar to the Rhinia apicalis in Diptera Gallery!
