Hello!
A 1 mm fly from our housewall last Saturday (northwest Germany). I think it is a Sphaerocerid. Is it possible to go to genus level? Thanks in advance!

Subfamily Limosininae: difficult to get any further.

The discal medial cell is very short, hence you don't see the cross veins. I think this will be something close to
Spelobia.
