Photograph taken on 18 September, 2023 inside a house in the urban center of Motril, Granada, Spain

Apparent size with wings, about 2,5-3 mm
Click over the image increases in size

Appreciate your cooperation for identification.-

I have the collected specimen, in case there is any detail that can be photographed to determine the species. Or to send it to a specialist who wants to study it on their own.

Well at first sight it looks very much like a Lonchaeid - but the halters are pale and there are too many frontal setae on the head for this to be the case. So it must belong to another family

Sorry for misidentification. I should know that some milichiids are as tricky as this one.
