Another very charactersitic midge. Unfortunately I do not have a lateral shot.

Sceptonia or
Zygomyia?

Certainly one of the Mycetophilini, perhaps Epicypta?

Is there no consensus on this?

The British species of
Epicypta do not have the femora darkened like this;
Platurocypta has these formora darkened dorsally and has costa extending beyond the tip of R5 (which I don't think is the case here).
Zygomyia has two strong ventral setae on the mid tibiae but here I only see one small. That would lead to
Sceptonia.

I'd agree with
Sceptonia ;)
