Hello.

This is the first single message on your forum.

I know nothing in Diptera, but the excellent French insecte.org forum, I was advised to come to submit specimen (and some others ... to come on other topics here)

This is the first for determination. It would be an a priori Chironomidae.
Size: about 7 mm (body).

Can you identify with this 2 pictures, view from below?
Its beautiful color gradient may be characteristic?
