Looks like Euthera tuckeri, Phasiinae that I observed in Japan. If I remember correctly it was inroduced to Japan as well from North America.

Hmm, amazing fly - it does look like a Euthera but I have very little experience with them so would need to take advice on that  Any chance that a specimen was taken?
