Photograph taken on 16 December 2018 in the wetlands of the Suárez Pond, Motril, Greanada, Spain. Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.
Apparent size with wings, about 6 mm

I have the specimen collected to take photographs of some details that may be important for identification.
I can also send it to the specialist who may be interested in studying it carefully.

Appreciate your cooperation for identification.

Not Tipulidae. There is no V-shaped suture on the thorax.
Chaoborus?

Very grateful for your help.
I had not heard before that family of dipteros ... Chaoboridae
