Midge
Ceratopogoninae, probably Sphaeromiini if the size is accurate. Another angle might help, if it shows the wings more clearly.

Another image
I've added another image of what may be a different individual, but taken at the same time as the other one. Not sure if the wings are any clearer, but I'm pretty sure about the size so Sphaeromiini seems like a good bet.
