 Tvetenia discoloripes group. A body with this pattern of long hairs is always Tvetenia, a typical inhabitant of brooks. The posterior edge of the head is black, so T. discoloripes group (in Europe: T. discoloripes & T.veralli)

 sorry, they remain unidentifyable to species level. Tvetenia discoloripes group (with 2 european species) remain unseparable in the larval stage. This is confirmed by a Dutch expert on this matter (H. Moller, pers. comm. 17dec2010).
