Small Yellow Plecoptera

Small Yellow Plecoptera
Springfield, Lane County, Oregon, USA
May 16, 2019
I went walking along the road at a park that touches the McKenzie River and caught it as it was flying. It flew through the air slowly and daintily such that I thought it was a Mayfly. I'm pretty sure it's a Stonefly, as it looks just like the many other species of Stonefly I've seen around here.

Does have a small pair of yellow cerci that can barely be seen in the last pic.

Chloroperlidae
Hi!
Nice photos! That is one from the family Chloroperlidae. I suspect that could be a Sweltsa species, but it would be worth checking out some references to confirm the genus.
