Size?
Hi Tom-

Could you estimate the body length, please?

 
Size
This was Baetid size around 4mm.

 
Baetidae
Tom-

Unfortunately, all I can tell you with any certainty is that it is a female imago of family Baetidae, which I believe you already knew. And, it does not appear to have hind wings. I am moving it to family level with the hope that someone familiar with it will eventually be able to identify it to genus or beyond.

 
Probably Plauditus
Hi Tom-

Have been advised by Lloyd Gonzales that this is probably Plauditus, so I am moving it to that placement in the guide.
