SW France a week ago. They were numerous in a wet area close to a river. Length about 3 mm.

I think this is a female of this genus, but wonder if we can tell apart S. gibbus from S. fascipennis with this pic.

Stenochironomus fascipennis has more black at the wingtip and on the fore tibia than your fly.
