Hello,

is it possible to identify this fly? Size may be 5 mm, founded 7th sep. 2011, inside my house in Germany, North Bavaria, Rhön, 280 msm.

Female Tanypodinae, Macropelopiini or Pentaneurini. If the eyes are iridescent more likely Macropelopiini but the wing doesn't look like the common species Psectrotanypus varius.

Consider Apsectrotanypus trifascipennis, which has similar wing markings.
