I'm not sure this is Lonchaeidae - has more of a muscid jizz, I think - something like Hydrotaea?

Thank's to all. I do have Hydrotaea ignava male in my collection and it indeed looks a lot like this. Tomorrow after the acetone bath I must try my key Smile

EDIT: All characters seems to be correct with ignava, so that shall it be.
