Hello,

I photographed these flies in Lago di Campotosto (AQ), Italy, 1300m a.s.l. on September 5th 2021. I think they are Chironomidae, but is it possible to identify their genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

I lean towards tribe Tanytarsini but I can't rule out Polypedilum.
