Hi, this one seems a bit Brachyceran-like... Or nematocera? Mycetophilidae?

Some 5 mm long, it was in a case made of wood particles. Thanks for any help!

To me it resembles a Limoniiidae of the genus Limonia. It looks as if the headcapsule is almost complete dorsally (and off course retractable), which is unique for Limoniidae. It can best be seen in the third photo. In more semiterrestrial or semi-aqutic habitats it may be Dicranomyia, but in this case most likely Limonia. Do you also have pictures of the anal lobes?
