Congrats Stephen
You found one in a new location for the guide.
I read the description on the info page of the other species, and it looks like all mine are B. brumalis.

You beat me to it!
I encountered a Boreid yesterday, one day after your most recent. It's a first for me, though ... been looking for these guys for a while. Quite exciting to find insects out and about during winter!
It appears that we both have the same species here (I haven't posted my images yet) - based on the descriptions on the B. nivori*undus species info page, I would lean towards this being the other Eastern species, B. brumalis.
