Or have i got this the wrong way round yet again !!!!

I'm going with Rithrogena Semicolourata - the hind wings are far too large to be a LDO. There were a few empty shucks from these on my local river last night and it's about now that they start showing....so its a good old Upright for me.

Although the image is a touch blurry (!) the clue is in the 3 tails - Sepia Dun.
