Hello!

This small (4-5 mm) fly I photographed yesterday on a meadow here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. At first I did not even find the appropriate family for it, but after some research I now think it could be some sort of Lauxaniidae, perhaps Minettia longipennis or a similar species. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!
