Midge? - male

Midge? - Male
Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, USA
July 20, 2009
Size: around 3.5 mm
Very small- Hardly saw it to be honest... Not a good quality photo, but thought I'd share it in case it happens to be something without a MO data point... Any ideas? I'm not even sure if it's some kind of midge or not...

Male midge
I'm not sure beyond "male Chironomidae". Likely subfamily Orthocladiinae.
