Very likely this fly is indeed a Limoniid. Chen Young might help you further, but at present there are not many Palearctic crane fly specialists around here.

14 antennal segements and three R reach wing margin, my guess would be crane flies in Limoniidae, Hexatominae and tribe Limnophilini. Don't know your crane fly fauna well enough to even make a gestalt guess.
