 That's an odd one. Likely Cricotopus (Cricotopus). Color is typical of Cricotopus (Orthocladiinae), but the leg posture is typical of Chironominae and the wing looks hairy (never in Cricotopus).

 John Carr thank you.
Wing is not hair, it is noise in the picture.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

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’?
