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.
Tipulidae or Limoniidae (family)

Based on the ID of the more recent sighting (3 March 2023), I tried to update the suggested species name to Ischnotoma (Ischnotoma) eburnea. This name is not an allowed option for SHNM, so I've added the name as a comment.
Ptilogyna (Plusiomyia) gracilis

Glad to help. Unfortunately not in my book.

Thanks, Roger, for solving the mystery for me! I never would have figured it out.
