Is this 4 mm fly a Orthocladius?

Thanks for your help in advance

Probably not
Orthocladius because the second branch of Cu appears strongly curved. (The ortho- in Orthocladius probably refers to the shape of this vein in the genus.)
The dorsal extension of the eye looks longer than normal in the subfamily.
