Here is some speceies of North America Limoniidae might be of interest to you, and here also is a brief account of some morphological terms for your reference. These sections are not completed yet and will be updated often.

Be aware of the fact that the image only represents one individul of a large population, and there is always variation exist. Also when shooting crane fly images, the flash of the camera could alter the recorded color to the point that the photography does not accurately display the true color. So it is tough to put the precise specific name on an image than a generic name. A specimen in hand would hopefully resolve that problem but again when the specimen in hand is a female specimen, it presents another challenge since as you may know that most of the keys are bias towards male specimens.

I appreciate all the awareness you have brought out, just don't get frustrated when makoig effort to id them. Hang in there!
