Chironomus s. str. if it's from Ottawa -- the few species in other subgenera look different in the region.

Yes it's from urban Ottawa. What does "s. str." mean?

S. str = sensu stricto. Chironomus is the name of a genus (sensu lato, in the broad sense) and a subgenus (sensu stricto, in the strict sense).
