Might be wrong [again] but it looks like Lonchoptera tristis Lonchopteridae in The Gallery. https://diptera.i...to_id=9136 |

Could it be Lonchoptera lutea instead of L. tristis? I've been searching and I see that L. lutea is much more common than L. tristis. |

They are often not this dark and prefer grassland vegetations rather than forest

Ok, then Lonchoptera tristis is more probable. Thank you Paul. |

I can see a distinctive bend in the mid tibia. so would confidently say this is Lonchoptera tristis |
