Spent Mayfly but which one?

I usually see those that are a creamy orange colour in my pond which i presume are the pond olive?

This one looks a lot darker

Any Mayfly experts out there?

Im afraid there are so many species and quite afew around in sept that it will be very hard to ID it from this photo, you need a detailed look at the wing veination in alot of cases. Alot of time you carnt get an ID from a photo.
