I think it belongs to subfamily Ceratopogoninae. The halteres are visible just below where the mid legs and wing intersect. Can you post a picture of the rest of it? |

Definitely Ceratopogoninae. I'll try to find a genus name. |

Sybmitted images need to be placed in their albums manually and it may last a while till I find the time to so that. I have my own 'backdoor' and can attach attachments from the forum to the Gallery. I just added both your king-size images.
