Photograph taken on May 16, 2021 in Motril, Granada, Spain.
Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.
Apparent size no wings, about 1,5 mm
I collected two copies together, I think they were in copulation.
When photographing them, one of them was dead.
Click over the image increases in size 1200ppp
I appreciate your help in advance

Psychoda spec, many species with the same look of the wings. The top of the antenna looks like P. cinerea/gemina and maybe Spanish species I do not know.

I appreciate your help and comments for the identification of this little dipteran.
Attached is a cutout of the 1200 pixel photograph, with the detail of the antennas, increasing its contrast and focus mask, in case it could help your determination.
The collected and photographed specimens, I keep them in a small container with 70% alcohol. If they have any interest or curiosity for you, I can send them by post if by private message you provide me with an address to do so.
Kind regards from the South of Spain.
José Marín.

OK ...
On another occasion I will keep the possible specimens dry, in case it is necessary to obtain some photos of partial details.
Thanks.
