i think it is closer to Limoniidae or Pediciidae (Ula) because the larva has ventral pseudopods. As it is large it can be only a few species, but as the anal lobes are hardly visible it is a bit difficult. If I would make a guess than it would be something like Epiphragma (?) or Ula.

Thank you atylotus

Closer determination may be possible as it will imago.

Best regards
