Found in Brussels end of March. 3,5 mm.

Thanks to Ruud and Iain, I revisited the key, and as far as I can judge on this small specimen:
- hypopleural bristles absent
- lower squama longer than the upper
- veins 6 and 7 short, their paths not convergent

Pretty sure now it's a muscidae. Looks like a Trichops male?

No, I don't think so. It looks rather calypterate to me.

Its far to "thin" for a Lonchaeid and too hairy - I agree with Calypterate
