I found this fly like thing on a hike at Chittenango Falls State Park in NY
Sometimes you get lucky! It is a great shot. Try Hystricia abrupta: http://bugguide.net/node/view/33088
Aaron - I would love to be able to say it was a well thought out shot and a great spotting, but really the only reason I found this fly was because I almost put my hand right down on it and snapped the photo as quick as possible before it took off. Sometimes it is all about luck!
That will get you started, if you care to dig deeper into the ID. I just gave you the basics and didn't get too detailed. Sorry about that.
