I'm not sure this even is diptera, but I'm sure Paul Beuk will move the thread accordingly. It is pretty large and this is the only angle I got, I think. Is it possible to get an ID? From midwest Sweden in may 2006.

Edit: Changed subject (Unknown diptera?)

Another shot a little closer on the body. Same individual.

Here is another one. I doubt if it is same species, but it resembles it. It is from midwest Sweden in may 2006 (two weeks before the first one).

Another view of the second one.

Hi Crex.
Paul has no reasons to move your image, it is 100% Diptera.
I dare say what I think. I can see only one A vein. If so, it is Ptychptera sp., Ptychopteridae.

One of the tipuloid families, not Ptychopteridae (there is no branch on the halter).

Hello, Paul!

What about Limonia sp. (the second one cf. nubeculosa), family Limoniidae?
