POSSIBLE Common Baskettail (T. cynosura) - female

At my house in the Chequamegon National Forest southeast of Grand View, Bayfield County, Wisconsin
7 June 2008

The photo likely does NOT confirm which baskettail species this is. At first I thought it was surely a Common (cynosura) but the appendages appear a little too long and, while not diagnostic, the wings lack any black on the hindwing. I've never seen a female Beaverpond (canis) so don't have much for reference. I consulted a couple experts and they felt this single photo was not identifiable, so I'll leave it as such. Have an opinion? Leave a comment, please.
