Reminds me of something in, close or inbetween to Axarus sp., further supported by a Facebook user in the group Diptera, but the Brazilian Chironomid fauna is widely unknown and I can't be sure. All I can reach with certainty is the order Diptera, suborder Nematocera, infraorder Culicomorpha, superfamily Chironomoidea and family Chironomidae, and risk a sky-high guess of the genus as it is the most commonly seen. For now, unidentified. Chironomids do not bite, both males and females are harmless. Chironomids should not be mistaken with Culicids (popularly known as the blood-sucking (hematophagous) mosquitoes). Check the full post's link I provided above for an overall description of Chironomids with all sources included for your convenience.
The subject portrayed is a female and measured around 3mm or less in length and around 1mm in body width.
