 Female Chironomini. Probably Chironomus. Possibly Chironomus tentans, a large (8-9 mm) midge with strongly contrasting black marks on a yellow-brown thorax. Males are easier to ID.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
