Chironominae
Chironominae, probably Chironomini. Do you have a closer picture of the tail?

Pic of tail.
I've added a closer look at the tail. The best original photo of the tail, cropped, darkened, resized to 2x original.

Not a crane fly
A male midge, I suspect. Others will be able to say for sure.
