This one was photographed by a friend, Albert Ruh? in Girona, in Catalonia last week.
I know id to species level is difficult, but is it really a Tipulidae?
Thx in advanced

My contact said, that it looks like
Tipula (Tipula) paludosa, but as long as wings and antennae are not visible, it could be some other species from genus
Tipula subgenus
Tipula (there are 4 more in Spain) ;)
