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.

And here is the picture of tarsi/claws! I hope it will be enough!

Thank you!
