I am not sure what this fly is. First I thought it is a Syrphidae sp. because it flew like one. Than I thought maybe it is Stratiomyidae. Now I think it is maybe Pipunculidae.
I think,Microchrysa flaviventris or Microchrysa sp. :Stratiomyidae.
Wing vien is not Syrhidae.
Thx,
I find only one image of Michrochrysa flaviventris on the net: http://www.saturn.dti.ne.jp/~dinsects/Abu-mizuabu.htm But this species is clearly not the same with what I show here. Both the shape and coloration is different. Flaviventris means yellow-bellied, but the fly shown on the other website has metallic green abdomen (although the ventral part may still be yellow).

Actually I found an image showing the same species.
http://www.geocities.co.jp/AnimalPark/2102/metahae/metahae.htm But I can not extract any information from that page.
Michrochrysa flaviventris is known,male's abdomen is green-metallick and female's abdomen is yellow.
Do these images show the male of this species?
