Very nice. I guess one of the Uliidae?

Could this be Herinia lugubris?

Many thanks, Nigel and Xespok!
anyone can confirm Herina ?
from internet: "The Herina lugubris species group includes five externally
almost indistinguishable species that may be separated unambiguously only by the structure of the male and female terminalia and, at least partly, by their distribution."

I'd be happy to call it Herina. You will need to collect a specimen and get it under the microscope for species determination.
