What flying insect is this? Resembles Wasp / Crane Fly / Moth?
Pselliophora laeta, a species of crane fly (Tipulidae) in the Ctenophorinae subfamily.

Route to discovery: Reverse image searching my own photo on Google led me to a matching image on Naturalista (Familia Tipulidae), and in-turn to iNaturalist, which showed me to Genus Dictenidia. Further Googling for "Genus Dictenidia" brought up many families of crane-fly, which I visually scanned until I spotted it -- Pselliophora! That led to Wikipedia, and to this image, which mentions its source to be whatsthatbug, where the discussion cites Pselliophora laeta on India Nature Watch.
