Sturmia bella? Seems to look like this species. |

Thank you, Waldgeist, for pointing me to this genus.  Yes, it bears a good resemblance to a Blepharipa sp., like B. pratensis. Perhaps a congener.  |

If it is a Blepharipa the key in Flies of China says B. wainwrighti (Baranov, 1932) based on black scutellum and male with narrow frons, no orbitals, and short claws. In China it is known from Yunnan and Guangdong. I would not trust this ID without checking a description of the species. Baranov, N. 1932.
