I think this is Chironomidae. Can anyone give it a full name?

From central lowland France (la Brenne), 1 September 2008, swept from a mown haymeadow, 4mm, female.

This is a female, and I do not think this can be identified by ANYONE, unless this is a very special species. To my knowledge there are no keys for Chironomid females.
