Found on Apr 29, 2006, Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region.
Pretty big, size 6 to 7mm.
Could anyone go deeper than family? More images are available.
Thanks.

Moscow, park, on cut down wood, 29 apr, 6mm.
Thanks Paul and Dima. Two days ago I met same Mycetophilidae.
Now with Paul's prompting I went trought the key.
My result Dynatosoma nigromaculatum:
cx - black;
first antenae flagelomer - black.
There isn't Dynatosoma nigromaculatum in Netherlands..., neither in Diptera of Czech and Slovak, nor in synonims.
I misID, or there is some other synonim, or ID may be correct as Dynatosoma nigromaculatum is Eastern Europe species?

P.S. Only now I found that in case of Dima's Dynatosoma first antennae flagelomer is obviosly yellow, mine is obviosly black.

From what the Palaearctic catalogue tells me, it may be a slightly more northern and continental species, but make sure to cross-check on
D. abdominale. According to the German catalogue Peter Chandler thinks that is a senior synonym (and thus the name to be used).

In my key there isn't D. abdominale. Search in Google show that in most cases Dynatosoma nigromaculatum (= abdominale).
Thank you Paul.

Ugh, I nearly missed the whole case.
Thank you all so much. At my level, Dynatostoma sp. would be just fine...

Jan ?evč?k from Univerzity Karlovy, Praha has confirmed that it's most probably a
D. nigromaculatum.
