This is a
Culex male, and if it is as pale as your first photo suggests, it might be
Cx. theileri, but I'm not familiar with this species, so wait for confirmation before labelling it as such.

Tony Irwin, I appreciate your help and I edit the title with your proposal to try to know the opinion of other specialists.
