Dobsonflies and Fishflies

Dear Bugman:
Is the attached creepy bug a female dobson fly? It measures approx 4-5 inches from pincher to bottom of wings. We found in on our window screen early in the morning in early July. It appears to avoid daylight, and is rather docile. We live near Harrisburg, PA , approximately 2 miles from the large Susquehanna River. Thanks for any information you have. Regards
Joe
