Hi there Dipterists! I just need to confirm as to whether this is a female Chironomidae or Mycetophilidae. Both have humped thoraxes but I have had a problem with these little fellas for years an am still unsure.
regards,
Rob Deady

Hope you have a bigger version. Might be Chironomidae but also Ceratopogonidae.

With the apparently very long forelegs, and the contrasting markings on the thorax, I'd say this is likely to be Chironomidae, but a bigger photo would help!
