Originally I would have placed this around Keroplatidae, just based on jizz. Trichoceridae could make sense, though, because this fly certainly has a crane-fly like jizz. I think a very large proportion of the Trichoceridae images on the net are in fact Limoniidae images, so i have hard time to get the jizz right, but among the images there are some very similar to this one.

I came to Trichoceridae because of the tipuloid shape and the shape of the antennae: mostly very thin. That does noet fit with Keroplatidae.
