In Flies of China one gets to Lispe orientalis only by following alternative "各足胫节均灰黑色" (all tibiae entirely gray-black). In Xue and Wang (2005) this keys to Lispe orientalis.

Comparing with scale (1 mm on photo) total body length about 4.5 mm, correct?
All tibiae yellow which exclude L. orientalis (https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=3582). Lateral photo with tibial chaetotaxy would be helpful, so far I vote 1 : 10 that it is L. pectinipes.

Dear Clive, leg chaetotaxy is still badly visible. But it is L. pectinipes.

Leg chaetotaxy is still unclear. However, I'm almost sure that it is L. pectinipes.
You can check your specimen yourself using my key:
