Yes...
Baetidae: Cloeon dipterum female imago. At least, that is the way current North American taxonomy would have it. I'm not sure where the debate in European taxonomy stands. Sowa (1975) made the argument for three species--dipterum, cognatum, and inscriptum. It is interesting to note that many of the morphological distinctions used by Sowa to separate adults of the European species are also represented by BugGuide specimens.
