Phoridae I think, but is further ID possible? Thanks in advance!

It is a Sciaridae, possibly Sciara analis

Oef, there are some species in our area, but S. analis is quite common, so I expect it to be this species. You should ask a Sciaridae specialist, which I am certainly not.

Fine, I'll do that!
EDIT: According to Fauna Europaea,
Sciara analis is the only
Sciara known for Belgium...

hmmm, I guess the occurence of S. flavimana, S. humeralis, S. militaris, S. modesta, S. ruficauda and S. thomae are also possible. According to the Cat. of Pal. Diptera humeralis, modesta and thomae are recorded from Belgium.
