SW France last night, attracted to the light, 2 - 3 mm long.
I'm not sure we can identify a genus from this pic, I certainly cannot propose any, but the wing veins and spots could perhaps give a lead.

Difficult to be certain, but this looks very like
Chironomus striatipennis
(=
C. strenzkei
)

Many thanks Tony,
Does not look very common around here ... but we may not notice it because of its size.
