CLOSED: Agapetus ochripes?

Lincoln, United Kingdom(Zone 8a)

These are hard to find! I did find a site which has a few quite good pics with Agapetus ochripes, seems to have all the 'parts' mine has. I only have the one pic of this one, it is here although not included in bioimages.

Order TRICHOPTERA (caddis flies)
Family GLOSSOSOMATIDAE
Agapetus ochripes

This site has a pic, it has long, red antennae striped black, legs seem to match, so do wings although theirs is overexposed and mine is at night with flash. Head looks fuzzy, eyes seem to match. It also has a couple of long snout protusions. As far as I can see the wing veination and shape matches. Nothing else comes close, does anyone agree?
