I caught this at a very interesting mountain brook. Is it IDable?

Is there a key somewhere to Lonchoptera?

Looks like L. tristis, but I've never seen this species myself. If it is this species, it should have the median tibiae bent near the base and the median basitarsus more than half the length of the tibia.

Thanks, I think tibiae are not bent here:

Difficult to judge if the tibia of the middle leg is bent at the base.

So shall I photograph it from another angle? I will later!
