Norway, 25.11 7-8 mm when not streched out

Very active and 'fast', and much rounder and bulkier than the Sciaridae from a couple of weeks ago.
It seemd to prefer not streching out, so even when it crawled around it still looked like a blob.

Top pic: head from above, bottom: head from the underside/face on

Maybe it is another Sciarid?
