Is it possible to say which Nematocera bit Rana esculenta?

As far as I know and looking at the picture I could say these are Simuliidae or Ceratopogonidae. But they look more like Simuliidae. Maybe someone will also say his/her opinion.

With these relatively long antennae, they cannot be Simuliidae, so I assume they are Ceratopogonidae.

By the way, I found in Bey-Bienko that frog blood is specialisation of Forcipomyia velox, of Ceratopogonidae.
