Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Limoniidae Molophilus? --> Molophilus griseus

I found today several specimens of a Limoniidae fly, which looks like a species in the genus Molophilus (by the wing vein pattern according to the kolumbus.fi website). It is rather small and looks fragile. Any idea which species is may be? I found it in a home garden in Groningen, the NOrth of the Netherlands. Thanks

Molophilus griseus. Shape of gonostyli (best visible in the last photo) is quite distinctive.
