Ok, but there are no setae on veins like pilipennis has. Only one very long setae in the place where r2+3 and r4+5 are still together and on dorsal and ventral side.

I couldn't judge the setulae on veins.
If you say there is only one strong present, it should be Phytomyptera s.l. or just maybe Paracraspedotrhix.
What bothers me is that most Phytomyptera are really black, this one seems to be grey.
In any case, Phytomyptera is a really difficult genus and we are never going to get a reliable ID from pictures.

In Phytomyptera, the apical vein is distinctly concave.
In Paracraspodethrix, it is more or less straight or even slightly convex.
So this should be Paracraspedothrix indeed.
