Hi, I'm a new member...
I found this Chironomidae in a reed bed near Lake Geneva, Switzerland, on 05/05/2016.
Estimated size is 6-8 mm.

thank you,
Nicolas

Probably in the group of genera near Chironomus. The long third tarsomere (relative to second) is common in Glyptotendipes. I can't see enough details to confirm.
