I suppose Tipulidae...
I know nothing about craneflys, so I hope to find an ID here.
Locality: Ghent, Belgium
And a detail of the (really cool) wing:
Thanks in advance;
Bye; Jonas

This should definitely be Tipula (Tipula) vittata Meig. (female).
Notice whitish streek for almost the entire length of the wing and broad deep brown velvety lateral stripes on the abdomen.
A cool cranefly indeed :)
Cheers
Walther

Hello Jonas,
I would say Tipula vittata (subgenus: yamatotipula), but I am not an expert. It may be a species which looks like this one and whose picture is not on the web.
Regards,
Marie-Christine
