This one looks more like a Chloroperlidae than Capniid. Take a look at the glossae and paraglossae, the length of the cerci, and the wingpads. It's probably Sweltsa sp. based on the hairy chest/shoulders/armpits and the hairs on the cerci.

Posts: 141I agree with Earl. I just collected a Sweltsa myself this last weekend that looked just like this one. Also, the divergent wing pads and hairy "armpits" (though I can't make them out) as Earl called them, are indicative of Sweltsa.
