SW France this morning. Found motionless on the outside wall. Body size slightly above 8 mm.

I thought it could be Ablabesmyia, but not so sure actually when I compare it to Tanypus especially the shape of the black mark on the wing.

Can we tell them apart with this pic ?

Scitochironomus, likely pictulus.

It has the immobile gonostylus and long fore basitarsus typical of subfamily Chironominae.
