I'd say Chironomidae - based on the postpronotal groove, prominent ante-pronotum, and the long legs which I've never seen in such a
hairy ceratopogonid. While most chrionomids have greatly reduced mouthparts, there are a few exceptions, and there are no evident stylets which we might expect in a certatopogonid.
And, to be less objective, - it just "feels" like a chironomid! :)
