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! |t

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
