 www.invertebratezoology.org has different descriptions of Nephrotoma. N.ferruginea is the first crane-fly ever identified.Yours may be that one.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.
