Hello,

looks more like a Tipula to me (big palps, short neck).
Best regards,
Jürgen

Please more comments.

It is Limoniidae subfamily Limnophilinae. Look at the veins in the distal part of the wing.

Thank you Jozef for your message Smile -
As you write "e.g." I meantime checked the threads of E. schranki in the Diptera.info-forum and found the facts of distinguishing L. schranki, L. arnoudi and L. pictipennis by Niels-Jan Dek (s. https://diptera.i...d_id=55034). I think "my" fly has a "black apical ring on the femora" like the picture in the referred thread. So I think it is L. pictipennis ...
