Hello!

This male Chironomid with green legs (at night at our housewall, northwest Germany) was rather big, about 9-10 mm.

Large pictures (1200x1200 and bigger):

Tribe Chironomini. Few genera are as large as 9 mm. Dorsal view of genitalia might allow more specific ID.

Thanks, John! I'm afraid I don't have pictures from a more suitable angle.
