Think this is a fungus gnat - Sciaridae- possibly Sceptonia sp. ?
Taken a few days ago sitting on my car South Coast UK about 2.2mm body length.

Sceptonia is indeed Mycetophilidae. This specimen is also Mycetophilidae but not
Sceptonia. I'd say something like
Allodia or
Brachycampta.

Thanks for the clarification and ID's- sort of on the right lines but just completely wrong :)
