is there someone can help me to ID this long tongue fly?
it's a perfect pollinator of delphinium.
i found it at the alpine meadow of Beijing, Aug. 19.

It is in the small family of Nemestrinidae.
The wing venation is typical, all the veins near the apex.
I caught similar one in Kyrgyzstan this summer.
