I found this Sciaroidea gnat in my garden in N Netherlands. Its wing looks, for its vein pattern like Orfelia, and has a darkened wing tip (like O genualis). Can anybody help me to determine its specific identity? Thanks!

I agree with
Orfelia, from what I can see. In Britain I'd say this is probably
O.nemoralis, but I don't know what other species you have in the Netherlands.
