Photographed yesterday in a rice field in Zhejiang China. Around 5mm in body length. Only a dorsal shot captured. It initially reminded me of Sciaridae. But I have compared its wing venation with those of Bradysia Photosciara Lycoriella etc., they seem to disagree in details. Where does it really belong? Or is it stilll a Sciaridae species? Thanks!
