Hi !
Center of France, # 11 mm, on 16 february 2014.
Chironomus ?

It is in the
Chironomus genus group. It looks like the inferior volsella is modified at the tip so it might be a
Dicrotendipes or
Glyptotendipes. A more lateral view of the genitalia would distinguish the former, and a shot of the pronotum or a closeup of tergites 2-6 would distinguish the latter.

Thanks John, I have no lateral view.
That's the best I can do :

Chironomus (including former
Einfeldia now classified as
Lobochironomus) or
Glyptotendipes).
