Is this crane fly a Tipula furca? It seems to match other images on BG, but I'm probably overlooking something. Thank you for your help.

This pair does look like
Tipula (Yamatotipula) and in the furca group. It is difficult to be sure based on the image. A close examination of the male genital is needed for the specific level id. - Chen
