Hi,
This night I had a tiny guest in my bathroom, sitting in a yellow plastic bowl. The camera revealed that it was a fly with peculiar wings that had infuscated margins. I have no idea how to name it, so please help!
Thanks, Sundew

Some more pics (if the auto-focus only knew what character / bristle is important!)

Campichoeta obscuripennis, perhaps? (Campichoetidae)

That's a new family for me - great! Two species of
Campichoeta are said to occur in our region -
C. obscuripennis and
C. punctum. The first one seems to have all-over darkened wings, but the latter shows the dark margins, as depicted in
http://galerie-in...155118.htm. So I'll name my fly
C. punctum as well.
Many thanks, dear Tony, to lead me to the right trace.

Yes,
punctum.
