Photographed today from Zhejiang China, tiny, around 3mm in body length. What family could it possibly belong in? Something like Anthomyzidae? Thanks in advance!

Arista looks very Drosophylid-like.
Possible answers: Liodrosophila or Cypselosomatidae

It seems me too odd for a drosophilid (hairy scutellum, peculiar ocellar triangle), I would rather search in Ephydridae, but not sure.

Dr. Marina Krivosheina (Ephydrid expert) just wrote me that it is not her group.

Inquire with Jindrich Tohacek whether it might be Anthomyzidae...
