Leuctridae: Leuctra sp.
Around 8 species in Maine, and unidentifiable in simple dorsal views. Actually easy to identify if you lift the wings up to see the male modifications of the abdomen, or (for females) look at the bottom of the last four segments of the abdomen.

Thank You
Unfortunately that was the only image I took. Next time I will be sure to check underneath.
