Dear Manuel,
Interesting picture. Do you have more, e.g., details of abdominal end?

Hi Pjotr !
Unfortunately it's the only picture that I have.
This is a 100 % detail, processed with filters.
Best wishes :)

Dear Manuel, Thanks again. This Tipula (Lunatipula; 44 species in Spain) is a member of the livida group; 8 species in Spain). Comparison with figures and descriptions shows that it is Tipula (Lunatipula) pseudocinerascens Strobl, 1906, described from southern Spain, also know from Portugal.
This is probably the only photo of the species
It would be nice if I could share the image on my cranefly website (http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/).
All the best,
Pjotr
