Picture taken in November, east China (Zhejiang province). Looks like a Muscidae. Thanks in advance.

Apparently a Muscina (cosmopolitan M. stabulans?). |

Jan, I don't think so. Apart from general JIZZ, for example, Muscina has strong prst acrostichals. I think it is some Oriental Myospila, like this: https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=2675 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Another picture, probably of this same species, but not the same individual. This is a lateral shot.

Muscina stabulans (see: https://www.diptera.info/forum/attachments/img_2315_3.jpg) has three pairs of bristles in middle of prescutum(whitish area), which are absent in the specimens in my pictures. |

@Jan thank you for the confirmation and the clue anyway.  It does look very much like Muscina stabulans. The legs, the scutellum and the head are all similar. |

Thank you Nikita for the ID. I think Myospila is promising. wasn't able to find the one that matches the leg coloration though. |
