Moscow region, 29 june, 4-5mm.
I hope I searched in right genus.
The only siutable possibility I could find is Parydra insignis. But:
1. It seems to me that forehead is rather metallic-shining under dust than math.
2. As far as I checked P. insignis isn't valid species anymore (absent in Czech and Slovak checklist).

Hi Nikita
This looks more like Paracoenia fumosa. Parydra has a bare face.

Of course, Tony, Paracoenia fumosa, 5dc!
Once again I tell myself: Nikita, check genus, if you have problems with species ID!
Thank you.
Nikita
