Could this be Tipula oleracea?

Thanks clovis!
Difficult to find information about that species.

As this observation might be the first record for eastern Austria, are there any closely resembling species to be confused with?
I have 11 other Yamatotipula species listed for the country

I do not know if someone work on Tipulomorpha in Austria. In weastern Europe, specie is rare (in France, only few recent records).

Did you look at the craneflies catalogue?

It could be confused with other species with blanck anterior margin of the wing: T (Y) marginella et T (Tipula) sp.

Hm, I actually feel that this species rather belongs to the subgenus Tipula and not Yamatotipula - I find T. errans or subcunctans quite similar

Actually I took precausion because I have never met this species.
This is undoubtly a Yamatotipula, and it can only be T caesia according to keys and as I know all other austrian species (except T riedeli I have no information on at all)

I reached out to regional Tipulid experts, but no response so far.
Clovis, could you please help me understand how to recognize Yamatotipula?

Try the keys of Peeters and Oosterbroek 2014 (in dutch). In the case of this species, with the black anterior band of the wing without white bande after it (as in Tipula subgenus) lead you immediatly to the subgenus

Using the key you recommended, I also read that some of my other suspects were autumn species. So it really boils down to this species. One expert wrote me back with the same principal ID, he just doesn't want to make a final call, based on only these two photos
