Baetisca laurentina
I think just small individuals of B. laurentina. Upon careful analysis, they don't look like B. obesa.

Baetiscidae: Baetisca obesa maybe
If you could catch a couple for me, I would like to nail the name down. Another species is possible, but I've never seen it. Was it from a stream or pond?

 
Nashua River
I'll look for these Sunday too.
