Thanks Tony! What about this one? The same family?

I don't think so - this looks like it has wing venation for Ceratopogonidae. In lateral view, does it look to have better developed mouthparts?

Hello Tony, thank you! Unfortunately I am not able to answer that, as the fly is back in its vial and I have hundreds of vials. I might get back to it though.
