Happened upon two mosquito hawks mating... got a few shots.
however I found a phenomenal website in which one may ID these crane flies. http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/idkeys.htm#11A
however it is MUCH more helpful if the identifier has an actual sample and not just a picture, like I do. hopefully I'll run into another one of these guys and get a sample to ID.
I took a second look and I think this actually might be it. This guy is very common in the southern US. Characteristic-wise, she also has the pale spots on her wings and the projections right behind her wings.
