Hello! This insect sat on a leave at the forest's edge in Ostwestfalen/Germany this afternoon. At first I thought of some hymenoptera but at a closer look it turned out to be a rather short legged, heavily built Nematocera (?). Although nearly as big as a Tipula (body only, 13-15 mm), it doesn't look like any Tipulid I know. What ist it??? Thanks in advance for any hint!

For the moment I would go for Platyura marginata of the mycetophiloid family Keroplatidae.

I did not think that there were such big and heavily built species in that family.
