Today I found this tiny fly (body lenght just a few mm) against our house. I suspect it is
Heleomyzidae
, possibly genus
Scoliocentra
, but I'm not sure. Could anyone help with the identification of this fly?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Jan!
The shape of the wings suggests Lonchopteridae.

J?rgen is right. This is a
Lonchoptera
species, probably
L. lutea
.

Ah, thank you Juergen and Jan Willem. I completely overlooked the possibility of Lonchoperidae!
