Hoping I have got the family right at least? If genus can be suggested that will be helpful.

Brilliant. That's what I had keyed it to with Collin 1952, but without a reference specimen I couldn't be sure, and the one in the gallery has a dark thorax.
Thanks Andrzej.:)
This emerged from Pluteus spp fungi that I collected last year - emerged in July this year.

I have observed a lot of Suillia atricornis activity around and on a group of Pluteus-looking fungi, and I have been looking for larva inside it, but unfortunately I do not have a clue what to look for. Mostly I find what looks like Mycetophilidae larva but others too.
Can anyone provide pics / descriptions of Suillia larvae?
