As far as I can tell the antennae have fourteen segments and this is a clear indication of
Tipula (Tipula) paludosa. The look alike-species in the subgenus (oleracea and subcunctans and possibly others) all have only thirteen antennal segments.
T. paludosa is a typical late summer/early autumn species in all of northern Europe. A male this one, by the way.
