I am quite confident that this fly belongs to a family that I had never seen before. Keroplatidae or something related?

Dear Xespok,
unfortunately the wing veins are not clearly visible... However, the long antenna, habitus and the wings point imho to the genus Macrocera (Keroplatidae)
so you are right...
awaiting confirmation...
so long,
xylo

I do not know if there is anything closey related to
Macrocera, or to what extent that genus is variable, but it is Macroceridae. The head is much broader than in the
Macrocera species I know.
