Found in my garden in May (Leicestershire, UK). I think it is psilidae. The wing pattern seems distinctive but I can't find a match in the galleries. Help appreciated. Thanks

Neottiophilum praeustum: the spinose costa takes you well away from almost everything except Heleomyzidae (which almost never have such darkly and extensively marked wings)

Many thanks for the identification and the tips.
