Found this 3-4mm fly at work last night. Looks like a cross between a Chironomid and a Limoniid. Anyone going to put me out of my misery and stick a name to it?

Yes, these are really do not look like typical limoniid crane flies, but they are. Molophilini Tribe, also a relative of Molophilus. Female.

Thanks for that Walter...Just looked through some old stuff of mine and found I posted one of these last year..http://www.dipter...d_id=24945, but I think the answer I got from Lars was wrong ;) if the image in http://www.comman...ulosa.html is right.
