Campsurus decoloratus?
I believe this may be Campsurus decoloratus, but an not sufficiently sure to place it in the Guide (even) at genus level, so am placing it at family level, at least for now.

yes, very nice; check out Polymitarcyidae
burrowing mayflies in general grow quite big; in some, only males fly, while the egg-laden females stay on water surface with wings outstretched
