I think this is Chaboridae. Can anyone give it a name?

From central lowland France (la Brenne), 1 September 2008, swept from a mown haymeadow, 8mm.

Dorsal view.

Same species as my previous Chaboridae post?

Based on Gabor and Walter's comments on my other post, this one will presumably be a Chironomid too.

Yes, Chaoborids also have much shorter forelegs. See them here or in my gallery.
