Hello. From southeastern Buenos Aires, Argentina. I guess it's
Limoniinae
. It measured around 20mm. Does anyone know the genus or species?

The side view shows that this has long palps - I think it is closer to
Nephrotoma
(Tipulidae)

Micha d'Oliveira in the Facebook group "Diptera" just confirmed that the genus is Nephrotoma.
