Another one which looks a little bit like a female Chironomid midge, but rather could eaily be something like a male Mycetophilidae.

This is Chironomidae indeed!

You can tell by the way the fore legs are held, quite charcteristic for Chironomidae, though occasionally you will see others doing the same.

Thx.
With this one the hunched-back appeance and the relatively wide abdomen is quite odd.
(The wide abdomen actually makes it unlikely that this is a male individual.)
