Another Ceratopogonidae ? I was thinking of genus Culicoides. Does it seem reasonable?
Thank you!

Ceratopogoninae is plausible. A few genera have similar wing patterns.

Thank you john!
Is there any picture I can take that could help you with the genus?

A closeup of the wing would be useful.
Tips of tarsi (fourth and fifth tarsomeres and claws) and antennae can also be useful in sorting Ceratopogonidae.
