Ceratopogonidae...Biting Midge I think.

Hmmm... do they fly as high as 4th floor? I've never been bitten at this height - but this is a male i guess.

We get them at the top of the highest hill in Shetland which is 1400ft +, so I don't think height is an issue.

I'd say chironomid, something near
Smittia
