Beaverpond?
Using a rough zoom and fill light, I think this is a Beaverpond Clubtail. The cerci appear quite different from what I would expect on Spiny or Common but seem to match Beaverpond just fine. I think you can kind of tell this even without photo manipulation.

One of the baskettails
It's one of the baskettails (Common, Beaverpond, or Spiny). Can you zoom in on the end of the abdomen in this photo and post the zoomed version as well? If the view is good enough, a side view of the appendages shows which species it is.
