13 may 2008, The Netherlands, Havelte
On oak tree near water.

First impression was Ceratopogonidae, but the veinpattern seems to be more Chironomidae, i.e the place were the m-vein springs of. Still i am not sure about the family.

Any idaes about the genus?

I think female Chironomidae, I've seen a lot of with this kind of wing-and-leg pattern. For example Guttipelopia guttipennis has a little similar wing-pattern but surely other Tanypodinae and others of the family also :)
Wait for Xespok's opinion!

Based on this identification it should be Ablabesmyia sp. hanks to Tony Irwin. ;)
