Female Chironominae. I'm not certain whether Chironomini or Tanytarsini. If the wing membrane is bare, Chironomini. The habit of holding front legs out to the side and back is found in a few genera related to Stenochironomus. |

It's really difficult to reach these little Diptera identify!  Best Regards |
