28.4.2019 found in Zvolen, Slovakia, city park Lanice, 295 masl., on Salix sp. approx 11-12 mm.
It looks like Chrysopilus (anal cell is closed, arista is long), but there are too many dark markings on the wings and the shape of the body is quite stranger for a male of Chrysopilus.
Please identify.
Thank you and best regards.

I have no experience with the family but I think it looks very like Athericidae.

A very nice male of Atherix ibis.

Athericidae, indeed !
