Hi, it's waaaaay too big for Cecidomyiidae - but wait for what experts say. My guess is Mycetophilidae (looks a bit like Boletina) or can be Bolitophilidae. Both are similar in appearance. Regards, Walter

Spurs on the tibiae mean it cannot be a cecid. Not sure whether this is a sciarid or one of the other mycetophiloid families.
