 Hi,

I have photographed this medium-sized cranefly this week in the litter of a deciduous forest near Paris.
Body length about 10-12mm.
Any idea about the family (Limoniidae?), genus or species?
Thanks for your expertise!

 Probably Trichocera, considering the time of year and the form of the antennae.
