Wing venation looks very Blondeliini, or even Muscid (Muscina??)

Hello Theo,

it looks very different to me for the 3 Muscina species here (levida, prolapsa, stabulans), much more "spiny". But the soft bend in the M-vein baffled me...

It might be an old Cyzenis albicans.... I think the eye is hairy, that would exclude Muscina
