Can this Psychoda be identified ?

Could it be P. sigma ?

Unfortunately it's a female. The speciment is between 1,5 and 2 mm and found in a small forest area near a lake, North Jutland Denmark 20/05-24

And since my pictures for some reason doesn't show, here's a link to the observation on Inaturalist

When you can't add a picture the file will be too big. Unfortunately there is no warning at all.
It is not Psychoda sigma and it do not seem to be a Psychoda although the venation looks like Psychoda. Genus Mormia (and hence tribus Mormiini) maybe is a candidate, but in fact I don't know.

Indeed the original is too big.

Unfortunately the top of the antenna is missing...

The antenna once was there, but maybe this pic is not close enough

Also if Mormia, it must be eatoni due to the separated eye bridge

I have some not yet carefully studied pictures of Mormia eatoni from the London museum, but that wing is different from yours. So I still don't know.

Psychoda has the wings folded.

i cant find any key to genus for females, so i guess this one stays Psychodidae sp ;)
