Hoi Michel, Yes, it is a Chironomidae, and judging by the antenna it is a male! These two facts are for sure, but I cannot tell the species, maybe somebody else can! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

If it was a large one, say about a centimeter, the the best bet is Chironomus plumosus, very common near larger waters.

A centimeter is about right. The photo was taken in a walled city garden near the Leie in Ghent, Belgium.
