Bicoloured mayfly - Diphetor hageni - Male
Sherwood Park, Strathcona, Alberta, Canada

Hoping this one is distinctive.

Fantastic
Thanks all, didn't think this one would be this easy!

 
Easy, not
Although identifying it to family was relatively easy for me to do, identifying it to genus was a considerably more difficult, primarily due to my not being to determine (from your photo) whether or not it had a hind wing, and if so, what its shape was. :-)

 
Fair enough!
