Culicidae, maybe Culiseta?

Dear fly forum,
I took tis picture in my glasshouse today and the second picture - I guess it is the same species - yesterday. Temperature there is kept just above zero degrees C.
Could it be Culiceta?

Regards, Niek

Second pictuere. Excuses for the poor quality but the animal was in a very difficult position to photograph (you should have seen my position and hear my wife laugh!)

Hi Niek - it certainly looks like Culiseta, probably annulata
