Baetisca
Hi Joshua-

I believe this female subimago to be of genus Baetisca. However, I am unable to identify it to species level, as subimagoes of this genus are not described in any scientific papers of which I am aware.

Moved for expert attention
Moved from Carapacea.

Let's see if we can get a species. Roger doesn't generally review pics posted deeper in the Guide.
