Baetidae - Small Minnow Mayflies, Female - female

Baetidae - Small Minnow Mayflies, Female - Female
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
August 2, 2017
I could not get the wings and the thorax both in focus at the same time, hence two images. I think it is female, but leave it unchecked for now.

This was a relatively small mayfly shot at well over 1:1 magnification. The second image shows the front leg structure and the lateral body structure in fairly good detail.

Thanks Roger! I wish I could have done better with
...the photo's. There isolated areas with great detail, but I could not get the result I had hoped for!

Baetidae
Hi Arthur-

I believe this female subimago to be of family Baetidae.
