Unidentified Insect - Hexagenia

Unidentified Insect - Hexagenia
Ware, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
July 7, 2018
Size: @1.25"
Found on top of the Goodnough Dike in Quabbin Park. Reservoir on one side, lawn embankment on the other. Woods in the distance. Not sure about the health as it was fluttering around on its back when I fist found it. I turned it right side up, but it didn't do much.

Hexagenia
Hi Stephen-

I believe this female imago to be of genus Hexagenia.

 
Thank you, Roger.
I thought it might be a mayfly, but every time I guess I usually post incorrectly. I appreciate you getting it into the genus.
