Hi,

I caught this one in the Czech Krkonoše Mountains on Jan, 10th.
Help with determination appreciated. Can provide more pictures if need be.
Body size: 3-4 mm

Best,
Lorin

Thanks, John!

I think with the Soli et al. 2000 key, I was able to nail it down to genus Mycetophila.
Hope this determination was correct; lacking further literature for species level

Yes, Mycetophila sp. It is a female, so no further identification is probable.
