Is This the Female Blue Dasher?

I have been seeing a lot of definite male blue dashers, but I'm wondering if this is possibly a female. It looks a bit different than the others. Thanks in advance for your help.

Leslie, it looks very close to the female I caught on Saturday. I don't have it with me here at the office. I'll send it to you later when I get home or post it here.

Thanks KC. I just looked at your pic on the other forum again. Your pic shows her from another angle though so I'm not sure (or do you have another pic?). I just love these guy's faces. Their eyes are so pretty and they look like they're smiling :) I think I might get the Stokes book too as I'm seeing a lot of positive comments on that one and it also includes the damselfies, which my book doesn't have.

PS - I think mine is the male again. I never noticed the zebra striped part behind the head before, so it was throwing me off. I defintiely think that your pic is of the femael though. I checked my book and your's looks exactly like the pic of the fem. in there.
