Reminds me of Elaphropeza but I am not familiar with the multitude of species in other regions. 'Our' Elaphropeza has a few strong setae on the hind tibiae. These are missing here but whether that is because it did not have them in the first place or that they were broken off (the specimen is rather battered), I do not know.

And, that is Hybotidae, not Pipunculidae. ;)
