Ephemerella invaria
Couldn't see the spines on the tergites in the photo, but are distinct when I have the specimen in hand. So, identification changed.

Not Heptageniidae
Body seems abit too streamlined and cylindrical (Most Heptageniids are flattened dorsoventrally)..might be something from Ephemerellidae
