Dear all,
on 07.07.2020 I found this gnat on a willow tree in a swamp area in Berlin, Germany. It had a length of 3-4 mm. Do you know something about this species? Thank you in advance!
Best regards, Adrian

I think Sciaridae - if you have some other pictures, look for spurs on the tibiae. They are found on Sciaridae, but not on the sometimes similar Lestremiinae (Cecidomyiidae)

Thank you. I unfortunately do not have other pictures. I guess it flew away before I could take another one..
