Hi Kurt
adult Lonchaeidae are notoriously diffficult to ID from photos as most of the key characters are difficult to see - what I can say is that it is a female Lonchaea spp. - the rather obscurelly orange basal tarsomeres may suggest L. obscuritarsis or L. albitarsis but thats just a bit of a guess .........
