Brown-eyed mayfly - Callibaetis ferrugineus

Brown-eyed mayfly - Callibaetis ferrugineus
Odenton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
June 26, 2015

Unmarked wings
All the other BugGuide images for this subspecies have dark markings near the costas, but mine does not. Is this a difference between adults vs. subadults or between two morphs?

 
Wing markings
The female Callibaetis ferrugineus ferrugineus imago typically has dark staining near its costa, whereas the male imago may (or may not) have such staining.

Moved from Mayflies.

Callibaetis ferrugineus ferrugineus
Hi Timothy-

I believe this male imago to be Callibaetis ferrugineus ferrugineus.
