Hi, this one was on decaying wood, forest, slightly over 2 mm-s. What could it be?

EDIT: Thanks Paul, I can add that the wings are different from that of Ptiliidae.

The slender antennae and small size reminded me of Ptiliidae but I think these are not so globose and having such slender legs. Perhaps Scaphidiidae, Scaphisoma?
