Dear all,
on 05/24/2021 I found this Chironomid fly in a meadow at Thurauen (Switzerland) near the Rhine.
Is it possible to say something about the species?
Best, Adrian

I think this is a Tanypodinae male, but maybe others will correct me. There are many species with this general appearance.

Procladius (Holotanypus) (fork in Cu far distal of m-cu; apical half of wing darkened by hairs)

Thank you very much! Good to know. At last some Chironomidae which can be identified partly. :)
