Berlin - July 2019 - 2.8mm male?

Hello everyone, I just finished my night work and i found this odd diptera attracted to light at my balcony. I don't know where to place it (which family). The antennae are not fitting. I've thought of Platypezidae and Pipinculidae but nothing looks like it. I could use some help. :)

Thank you very much and i hope that everyone has a pleasant night/morning.

ps: cropped from original image so size is as big as it gets with my 1:1 macro + extension tubes.
