Dictya sp. female
Yes, this is a species of Dictya, but neither males nor females of most species can be determined without dissecting the genitalia.

Maybe Dictya
Possibly Dictya. Do you have a picture of the face? That genus has a white face with a central dark spot.

Hi John,
Unfortunately I do not have a face view. Next time I find one of these I will get a face view. Thanks for your help thus far!
