Hello !
Is that little fly a Chironomidae ?
Taken today on bamboo leaf near a small river in center of France
Thanks for help.

Male Chironomidae. Maybe Orthocladiinae. The thorax is unusually hairy for that subfamily. The leg is obscuring part of the wing that would contain a crossvein if it were another family.

Thanks John for confirming family.

May be winter fur ;)
