Not Chironomidae. The hairs on the antennae are in distinct rings and the dististyle is very long and thin. I think I see the shadow of a proboscis so Culicidae.

I think the shadow is of antenna.
I went back to the same place and made new pictures I placed in a
new thread.
My idea is Tanytarsini

If it has no proboscis, see
Chaoborus. It is not Chironomidae.

Chaoborus I had seen in the same place were pale colored so I did not reconize :
