On 2th July 2025 I took pictures of this chironomidae in Den Helder, The Netherlands. I think it is glyptotendipes pallens. Can someone please identify it? Thanks a lot.

Greetings,

I'm not sure which species you have. The superior volsella appears to me intermediate between the "evenly curved" and "apically curved" states.
