Hello you all , long-suffering fly experts, here is another ID request ;)

Is it a Fanniidae ? The venation is not wonderfully visible (especially the anal veins, unfortunately) , but it seems that what we see would fit.
The striking feature of this small (6 mm) fly is the relatibe size of the antenna, which i do not see in any of the Fannia in the gallery, though.
Comments ?
Heron, Belgium, April 2005.
Thanks again for your help.
Philippe

Gasp! Another one bites the dust... :D
Never mind, I'll keep trying... with your help.
I'll be waiting for the resident specialist then.
Cheers

Thanks Andrzej, I'll make a point to remember considering Heleomyzidae first when I see those kind of antennae!
