Counting the antenna-segments I should say 14. This makes it Tipula Paludosa.
Do you perhaps have a sharper picture of the abdomen or/and a zoom-in of the antenna?

hello andre,
along a maipulated picture (contrast, brightness, colour) just to show the best possible zoom on the antennae an the abdomen.
It is not too sharp. But I hope it is sufficient.
Best regards, Josef

Josef,
the antenna has 14 segments indeed, so that suggests T.paludosa.
The colour of the abdomen (yellow spots) I cannot place.
The wing venetion looks like Oleracea/paludosa. If I had this picture in my collection, I would name it uncertain T. paludosa...
