Hopefully someone can help to indentify the species on the photo submitted. The picture was taken in Holland, Braamt on August 13th 2011. The fly is small: 5-7 mm. A sting of it gives a large red swelling.
Many thanks,

It might be
Clogmia albipuncta but it certainly did not give you a sting. The only Psychodidae that can bite are the sandflies (Phlebotominae) and these we do not have in the Netherlands. Perhaps you were bitten by a
Heatompota horsefly, which are also grey...
