Lonchoptera bifurcata (Fallén, 1810)
Det. John Klymko 2009. The Lonchopteridae are poorly known in the Maritime provinces, but L. bifurcata is by far the most common species in the east, and is characterized by yellow post-ocellar bristles and 2+ bristles on the fore tibiae, all of which are visible in this image.

Lonchopteridae: Lonchoptera sp.
A nice photo. Pointed apex of wings and yellow color give this one away.
