I'm afraid that they confuse me as well.
You have probably already considered Tipula maxima; but there are some other speckled wing Crane Flies on this site which may be worth considering. Flies page 1 |

Could be Limonia nubeculosa. Cranefly - Limonia nubeculosa?

I would go for Limonia nubeculosa as well, based on the ring pattern on the legs plus the mottled wings

Thank you Geoff, Janet and bugbotherer
I have found a reference in my Michael Chinery book but the wing marking on his illustration is no-where near as heavy as that on my image and thats why I probably missed it

The banded legs are the giveaway - it is one of the few craneflies where the leg markings are useful - bar-coded |
