Picture taken in early May, east China (Zhejiang province). This fly has a frons strongly protruding beyond its eyes. Could it belong to Platycephala or Eurina? Seems that both of the two genera have such characteristics. Many thanks in advance!

This should be Eurina, with an ocellar triangle that is still discernable on the frons rather than occupying the whole frons.
