It attacks the humans like me at dusk in Kourou (French Guiana)
It is a rather big one (5 mm), rather dark.
Could it be a
Mansonia sp. ?

I think you are correct, although there are not many of the typical broad scales of
Mansonia visible on the wing, and most of the diagnostic characters are difficult or impossible to see in the photos.
