Would love an ID on this unusual insect with no wings - some sort of wingless Tipula?

Hi Span102. I think this interesting insect is likely a cranefly, as you suggested. Your photos show what appears to be a haltere just below the wing stubs(?) and the abdominal pattern is similar to some limoniid craneflies.
