Hi,

I took this picture few days ago in Comblain (BE).
The animal was no more then 5 mm long.

Thanks in advance for your help

Possibly Limoniidae, but I cannot rule out Trichoceridae. Maybe someone else can?

Thank you Paul !
Maybe this view is better for nervation and can help ?

From what I can make out of the wing venation this should be Trichocera.

I totally agree with Paul. The wing venation indicates that this is a Trichocera species.
