Wonder if this might be identifiable to genus..

Was found on wet soil of stream bed in shade of dense evergreen forest in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India.
Higher resolution images can be got from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tipuloid_waspmimic.jpg

TIA

Limoniidae, Hexatoma (Eriocera) sp., venation is poorly visible as well as other important characters, using Edward's key it runs with some conjectures to flavicosta, a fly with different coloration of abdomen.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
