Not one of my best, but quite a interesting little insect. Can anyone help ID.

no idea but great pic, looks like a feather on its head lol

It is a non biting midge, the feathered antennae mean that this is a male.

Nice pic too

Thank's Mike, never seen one before. Only just spotted it when I was hunting around in a Acer at the bottom of the garden.
