This one is
a winter crane fly of the family Trichoceridae and genus Trichocera . The main character that is visible in these images for this family is the extremely short A2 and it strongly curved at wing margin closed to the anal area. More info here . - Chen

Chen, Thanks
Chen, Thanks very much for the ID here. Looks like maybe a different species from my previous Trichocera post. Thanks again for all your help with these Crane Flies.
