Tipula hortorum or Tipula nubeculosa ?

Yes Tipula hortorum is good candidate. Antennas are not ringed. Nubeculosa antennas usually ringed.

Thank you, I also leaned to this version. Worried about the dark spot on the wing, which I do not see in the pictures in the determinant, and also the fact that the segments of antennas 3 and 4 look pale yellow ...

You are right. Better candidate maybe
Tipula scripta.

T. scripta really works for these features, but she has long wings and there would be no visible segments of the abdomen. In addition, tergites have a yellowish color, and in this sample they are gray

You are right. Sorry I forgot that feature. So definitely not scripta.
