Brown Lacewing?
I think that it is a Brown Lacewing (Hemerobiidae), but I don't know which one.

can be moved to Hemerobiidae page
unfortunately, most of these guys cannot be IDed based on photos unless a very good closeup of the front wing is provided. i'm sorry to say that 'cuz they are fun to collect and ID, i had great time putting together a ref. collection for my dept. years ago

 
Is it the venation of the win
Is it the venation of the wing that is important to capture? I'll check to see if I have a more detailed photo.

EDIT: I did not have another photo, but I uploaded a 100% crop of the same photo. Feel free to frass it if you deem it not to add any value.
