Hmm. By referring to my one book on the subject, it could be a stonefly of some kind (of a needlefly, willowfly, variety maybe?). If it had a couple of short tails below that long wing I'd be more certain.

Now the experts will be along to put me to shame.

looks like a needle fly

A bit late for the Needle fly so I think it is the Willow Fly, Leuctra geniculata, which is around at this time.

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

hi, most likely, as Fishtales says, Willow Fly.

I still say needle fly,and not to be argumentitive.the seasons havent been the same as normal this year.
if im wrong, im wrong.But does not a willow fly look a little like a mayfly shorter body and wings.?
My other reason for my choice is that the wings looked like they are rolled rather than flat which is a feature of the insect.

HAVE TO SAY , ITS A "NEEDLE FLY" AND ITS A MALE,!!!!!

The Willow Fly (Leuctra geniculata) has a flight period of August through to November; females are 8-11 mm, males 7-9 mm.

The Needle Fly (Leuctra inermis) flight period is April through to August; females are 5-7mm, males 4-6 mm.

Despite the above, my experience is it's now a bit late for Needle Flies

Both the Needle Fly and Willow Fly are very similar in appearance, but size may help in the identification; then you need a decent magnifier to see the whorl of hairs around the apex of each antennae segment on the Willlow Fly that is not present on the Needle Fly.

OB.

sorry ob its a needle fly and its the male of the species,
