There is a good chance that this is a female Tipula longiventris or Tipula abdominalis.
Here are links to the BugGuide.net pages for each of the above species.

Yeah, I did not realize this photo only really shows its wings. I agree it is some kind of crane fly.
Can't see all of it, but maybe some kind of crane fly?
