Opomyzidae?

The only species of Opomyzidae of Japan is supposed to be Geomyza advena, which looks quite different from this fly. Nevertheless, this fly looks stucturally somewhat similar to Opomyzidae.

Than I lost. It's a pity that such a nice family almost absent in JapanSad.
My next stake is Drosophilidae.
I hope you have enoght Drosophilidae in Japan?

No Drosophilidae, I think. The setae on the femora are too prominent.

Heleomyzidae?
Just guessing .... a good size reference would help somewhat.

This moth is on the same material, and is this moth is abount 2.5-3 cm long. This means that this fly was a rather big fly, maybe around 1 cm, and I also remember that it was a sizable fly.

Looking more thoroughly on the image, the costae seem to contain setae, which is supposed to be a good field mark for Heleomyzid flies.

Maybe a Sullia sp?
