I think this is a sciaridae, possibly Bradysia but I could not see a comb on the front tibia. The eyes meet in an eyebridge and the tibial spurs are 1, 2, 2; length about the same width as the tibia. Found about 200m into a cave, Welsh borders, UK. Can anyone confirm it is a sciaridae?

I would say Sciara, one of the species resembling S. thomae.
