This specimen is very tentatively placed in Rhyacophila vocala, but see the caveats given by Dave Ruiter in its identification: "There are two species (hyalinata and vocala) currently within the group and this looks closest to R. vocala. It is likely, however, there are several undescribed species in the group and this is one of those."

This caddisfly was collected from Mystery Creek #249 on July 25th, 2019 and added to Troutnut.com on July 26th, 2019.
