First i thought this was Hymenoptera, but then i saw the halteres. I have no idea about the family!

Ceratopogonidae. Forcipomyia-ish I think.

This tribus Forcipomyiinae must have been used miscellaneously in earlier threats, since i found it related to quit different ceratopods.

But this is nobodies specialism i quess?
Allways delighted with any response,

???
Tribus Forcipomyiinae has two genus (Atrichopogon and Forcipomyia) and many subgenus, so maybe lots of different looking ceratopods....whitin Forcipomyiinae?.

I think this is a member of the Ceratopogininae - perhaps Clinohelea

Clinohelea unimaculata, female.
