It reminds me of the American Chironomus ochreatus so it might be the European relative C. macani. You need an expert, or an extreme closeup of male genitalia, to confirm.

Other than that, it is a Chironomini with frontal tubercles and that usually means Chironomus. There are exceptions.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
