Moved from Polycentropus flavus.

Looking at
this one now, it looks like a leptocerid - the antennae appear to be quite long and the wings narrow.

I posted the only other caddisfly that seems to fit the description from this same night. Does this look like the right one?

It
looks right. Of course a number of other things look similar, but if this is the only smallish spotted-winged one photographed that night, then this is it.

Looks similar
to the one tentatively identified as P. flavus. Poly. interruptus was taken the same night, but the wings are a bit more spotted at the apices.
