My first impression was Sciaridae, too, but the posture is 'off' and several other details do not really fit, most importantly: the absence of the eye-bridge on the top of the head. So: Mycetophilidae it is.

I cannot on the basis of this picture. No wing venation is visible and that contains most valuable characters.
