Can any one suggest a family?

How long are the coxae? I see no separation between R1 and C; is that an artifact of the angle?

Prominent tibial spurs and forked M suggest a fungus gnat (Mycetophilidae or some other Sciaroidea).

Sorry I can't answer your questions. This is the only one I have collected and it now resides with BOLD. But thanks for your help. I'll go with Mycetophilidae.
