Looking for a positive ID on this specimen, of course genus and species would be ideal but I doubt that's possible, so mainly looking for family.

DETAILS:
- Date: Fall 2016
- Location: Puntarenas, Costa Rica
- Environment: Lentic water (bromeliad plant leaf well), in a montane cloud-forest

I've noticed the strange black fork marking on the 'throat' and also the two symmetrical tail appendages, but it hasn't helped me figure out what this is.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated!
