2-12-2008, The Netherlands, Fochteloerveen.

It keys out to Mycetophilidae mainly on the pattern of veins, but i don't see the typical downwards bended head..

Can it still be confirmed as Mycetophilidae?

It's surely Mycetophilidae and the genus Mycomya.

According to tergal view of genitalia probably Mycomya (Mycomya) neohyalinata Väisänen, 1984.
However, without preparation there are always some doubtfulness :)
