no, i think
that this is a calyptrate fly. The costal vein is broken at Sc, there is a nearly complete transverse suture on the scutum, and the frons (between the eyes) looks like no lauxaniid I've ever seen. I'll put it in Muscoidea for now.

Another gnat mimic?
Looks like Tom's post, i.e. Lauxaniidae
