Ibisia marginata?

Ibisia is right, antennal base are clearly separated, and antenna are above clypeus. This genus has a very curious kydney shape in its third segment in antenna. :)
Also in this photo we can appreciate one of features for athericids, R1 and R2+3 ends in the same point when they reach the wing margin. Not so clear, because it is precisely in a dark region. :)

this fly makes sense in the place I found it. It was precisely the site where I found Liponeura sp. (Blephariceridae) which testifies the high quality of the water around. :D I could drink it without any problems. ;)
Founding Ibisia + Liponeura is a very good indicator :) I would like to see them more times.
