The long aristae make me think of Sphaeroceridae.

Venation and hind tarsi look more like Milichiidae to me.

Hello Raimo,
Tony is right, and it belongs to the genus Desmometopa. The black 'M' shaped mark on the frons is indicative of that. For ID the halteres and genae need to be visible.
Kind regards,
Ectemnius
