Limoniid ID
Carnifex
ID possible here? I find the broad black middle segment of the front leg especially striking, but could not find a match

Park in Vienna, mid April

All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

e.g. Limonia splendens
 
Carnifex
Thanks Josef, does it mean, here it might be splendens, but could be another species as well?
Cheers, Lorin

with a specimen (ideally a male) under a microscope I would be sure...
yes, there are similar species, for example - Limonia pannonica.
 
Carnifex
L. maculipennis would be another species with similar wing and leg pattern, but it seems to be not occurring that far south-east (absent from Austria, Switzerland, Czechia...).
Comparing the wing patterns (Kolcsar et al 2017), L. pannonnica lacks a small spot distally as well as a darkened wing tip - both features I see at my specimen - so L. splendens has become even more likely for me
Cheers, Lorin
