The humped thorax and general shape reminds me more of a Simuliidae than a mosquito.

We also thought that it could by a Simuliidae (my sister and I), but the antenae has more then 11 lids, so it can't by a Simuliidae.
We thought at many genus, but mayby its to must changed to get any ID, but I thought I give it a try....:D

I think this looks more like Ceratopogonidae
