Hello Solito
it is a young specimen as you already thought and juveniles cannot be identified to species level and even subgenus is difficult. Although T. (Yamatotipula) is the most common subgenus encountered in stagnant waterbodies it is only a wild guess. There are more subgenera with these combination of anal papillae. So Tipula spec. it is.
