Yes, Lycidae
Looks like a Net-winged Beetle, Lycidae. But there are many lycid-mimic bettle and even moths, which looks almost identical besides some imprtant details, like the antennae. In your case it is definitely not a moth. And the texture of the wings looks for me perfectly matching a Lycidae. You have to look carefully at the location, extension and shape of the black patch. As common species I only know Calopteron and Lycus.
