Not sure
but probably not Nephrotoma. Reminds me of a Limoniine not Tipuline. May be Pilaria but just a guess.

Hey Matt!
I just thought it was a tiger because my other one I have up here that's the same was IDed as a tiger crane fly
http://bugguide.net/node/view/271276
so I thought they were the same... check it out and see what you think!

You're right
on the other one being Nephrotoma. There are a couple ways to tell of it is Nephrotoma: short nose and big eyes, and a short Rs vein. Other than that, they will have other tipuline features (long 4th palpomere, etc.); color can be deceiving on any ID.
