Apologies Walter for taking a decade to reply. I've been studying this genus for some time and this is an exceedingly rare species. From what I can see in your images it checks out as Neria longiceps.
I summarise everything I can find out about it at

Key in Roháček, J., & Barták, M. (1990). Micropezidae (Diptera) of Czechoslovakia. Casopis Slezskeho Zemskeho Muzea Opava (A), 39, 97–111.
One to keep a lookout for.
I would appreciate details of its location (Lat/Long perhaps)
Dear Darwyn, many thanks for checking on this! It was collected in Jávorkút, Bükk Mts., Hungary, 17.May.2009 near a small pond in a mountainous region, at the edge of a forest. Exactly here: 48.096567, 20.528174
