It does look more like Ceratopogonidae to me. Something in the direction of Sphaeromias.

That's it! Venation was a bit like Chironomidae, but not satisfying.

Sphaeromias looks very good!
Thank you very much!

-. Scutellum in both sexes with long pale hairs. Fifth palpal segment slender, cylindrical (Fig. 2g). Female claws with inner tooth on fore legs, simple on mid and hind legs. Male flagellum very short (Fig. 2i). Apex of parameres covered with short setae (Fig.3f) .……………………………… S. pictus (MEIGEN)
I would say your specimen has long pale hairs on the scutellum.
Thank you for the link Jan Willem.
