Thread subject: Diptera.info :: ID on sticky trap

Dear all,

from a nursery I got a picture of an insect on a yellow sticky trap, used to monitor for e.g. Sciaridae. There are many unknown insects of one type, which I was asked to identify. However, I am not able to do so.
Is it possible to ID it although the picture quality is very low?

Thanks in advance
Thomas

A male Chironomid midge maybe, but maybe I'm only suggesting an ID because I am a novice!
