I'm not sure why I had this specimen in the Baetidae to begin with. The eyes aren't turbinate and the hind wings are fairly large. I'm going to guess Paraleptophlebia at a glance, but I should come back to this one later. Any thoughts?
It's a pity the pictures are so fuzzy and dust-spotted up close. I took this picture before I really learned how to use and maintain my Canon 20D.
