I think Anisopodidae. I don't recognize the wing markings.

Thanks, John, but I am not convinced. We don't have a Sylvicola (only Anisopodidae genus) with such long legs and wing markings here, but very similar Mycetophilids. The one below was determined als Leia sp.

This is Ditomyia fasciata if I'm not much mistaken. In the family Ditomyiidae.
