Tanyptera

Hello,
is species ID of this cranefly possible? I think it could be a male Tanyptera atrata or nigricornis.

Hello Marion, I'm pretty sure it's a male T. atrata - the antennae, for instance, of T. nigricornis are completely black.

The trochanters are clearly orange, so it is for sure Tanyptera atrata.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek
