Somewhat similar species as before, but with closed wings?

Again in some earlier threads a silver M on the head was put forward as a good marker for Milichiidae. So Milichiidae?

Thx for both of you.

The black M is present in many species of Desmometopa but it shows in a different way (see for example HERE). Moreover, the wings are really very dark for a Desmometopa.
