Picture taken in May, east China (Zhejiang province). It is a small black fly, approx. 3mm in body length. Could it belong to the Anthomyiidae family? Many thanks in advance!

Wow, great! Thank you, John, for the subfamily ID. So it's an Agromyzidae rather than an Anthomyiidae. Thank you for the correction! |

I did a few quick comparisons with some species in Agromyzinae that have been recorded from Zhejiang. I think Ophiomyia maura is most promising . See the BugGuide picture at: https://bugguide....ew/1325111
