 Hello, last sunday 4th April I found various scattered females of this migde in Juslibol, NE Spain, 200 meters over sea. I usually don't photograph chironomids but I know Paul Beuk have some knowlegde on this difficult family, and the size of this one is very noteworthy so maybe is identifiable.

Many thanks in advance,
Isidro

 Tribe Chironomini, probably Chironomus.
