A small Simulium, wing length 3 mm. Caught in a light trap in a garden close to a pine forest 14th October this year in Sweden just outside Stockholm.
It is hard to see on the images but the body parts that look white are in reality "silver colored"
First time on Diptera info, hope I managed to get the images in
