this is a Limoniidae
It look like
Metalimnobia to me, but i would need to see the wing nervation.

Thanks a lot Clovis for your reply. I'm already happy to know with certainty the family! Unfortunately the specimen kept its wings closed so it is difficult to recognize the veins. Anyway I post you an enlarged picture of the wings in case it could help...
Thanks again!

These are nice pictures of Limonia maculipennis (Limoniidae).
Go to http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/ for more pictures of and info about the species.
Maybe some of these images can be added to the website as well?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much Pjotr for identifying my fly! I tried the website you indicated but unfortunately I wasn't able to find pictures or specific data for the species ... (using search function it says "taxa does not exist" ?)
If you wish to add my pictures, no problem - I'm happy if they can be useful ;)
