Hexagenia bilineata
Hi Gacko-

I believe this female imago to be Hexagenia bilineata.

 
Thanks!
While the family I was visiting thought the small horde of them on the front porch was disgusting, I found them rather amazing -- and quite magnificent when photographed!

A Hexagenia emergence can be extremely prolific, and they are certainly one of the more photogenic mayflies.
