Hi JC, from what I see it could be a female Helina pertusa.

Thank you very much for this answer. Do you think Helina pertusa is "likely" or "very likely"?

We cannot see all relevant characters like the katepisternal bristles, and the plumose arista, so I would say likely, not very likely.
It's an eurasian species, appearing from Spain and Greece to Scotland, Sweden and northern Russia - larvae associated with dead wood.
Greetings, Eric K
