Paraleptophlebia praepedita
Hi hallockk-

I believe this female imago to be Paraleptophlebia praepedita.

 
Thanks!
There seems to be few pictures of these on the site, any particular reason why?

 
Well, my belief is,
as a general rule, the more mayfly species there are in a genus, the less likely a photo will be able to be reliably identified to species level, so it is more likely to end up only being identified to genus level.
