Which gnat? => Mycetophilidae

Dear Forum,

I have difficulties with this gnat... First, from overall habit, I thouhgt about Chironomidae, female... but when I checked the wing pattern, I found a split M-vein, which doesn't fit.

But what else? Who can help?

(Sorry, pictures aren't ideal... hope it's good enough to narrow down...)

Thanks,

Markus
