Observed recently in a hill in east China (Zhejiang province). Body length around 2mm, noticeably smaller than the one in my previous post (https://www.dipte..._id=105042). Otherwise they're very similar. The same species of Minettia as the aove-mentioned post but of the opposite gender? Or perhaps another species of Minettia or even something else? Thanks in advance!

Luaxaniidae, but not Minettia because the intra-alar bristle is missing.
