Today I found this tiny fly (body lenght just a few mm) against our house. I suspect it is Heleomyzidae, possibly genus Scoliocentra, but I'm not sure. Could anyone help with the identification of this fly?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Jan!

The shape of the wings suggests Lonchopteridae.

J?rgen is right. This is a Lonchoptera species, probably L. lutea.

Ah, thank you Juergen and Jan Willem. I completely overlooked the possibility of Lonchoperidae!
