Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Unknown sciarid? -> Possible Phytosciara sp.

I'm guessing that this is a sciarid of some sort, based mainly on what's visible of the wing venation. However, I'm quite possibly wrong about this. Any help in narrowing down the ID would be much appreciated! Seen in my garden in Sussex, UK on 24/10/2021.

Many thanks,
Dylan

The orange thorax and the antennal shape (tapering towards the end) remind me of Phytosciara, but wait for a second opinion!
