I cannot say for certain. It either is Chironomidae or Ceratopogonidae. I am inclined to say Chironomidae but then I probably contradict myself because here I say that the 'brush-like' plumosa antennae should indicate Ceratopogonidae. Still, size, posture and (what is visible of) wing venation make me think that it is Chironomidae.
