First: this is a fly, so it should be posted in the forum "Diptera (adults)". Second: the folded wings point to genus Psychoda. Species identification in Psychodidae seems, in most cases, to be impossible from photos. Microscopic features like genitalia are needed. So even our expert Phil Withers will probably stop at the genus...
