The location is only a couple hundred yards from ...

...the ocean. Thanks for the ID. Considering the dark color of the species am amazed you could ID it. Thanks, John!

Paraclunio alaskensis?

I wonder if this is Paraclunio alaskensis (now Thalassomyia, I think; I'll have to check). It is a marine species but a good flyer. How far from the ocean are you?

Midge?

Resembles Chasmatonotus. Do you have any more pictures?

… John F. Carr, 6 June, 2012 - 8:29pm

Yes. mostly pretty similar to this angle of view...

...some of a slightly more dorsal vantage. I could post some closer crops of various structures.
