I think it is Chironomidae.

Hi Pierre,

I totally agree with Nikita. These specimens are a male (upper one) and female of the family Chironomidae.
I hope for you that some other forum member will be able to tell you the genus, but don't be surprised if that would not be the case.

Hello,

Thanks to both of you. The family is already fine for me.
