Agree with RvD, you can just see the blue, lower half to the eyes.

Would they be so obvious on a male Paul and viewing through the wing?
The impression from this view also is that the sides are whiter, yellower on BtS?
It also exhibits the 'pruinescence' associated with WtS?

Many thanks both. I now know Howard satisfied himself that this was a Black-tailed Skimmer having studied the options previously.
All the best

Well it might be a White-tailed Skimmer but I would want white appendages and the pale side panels for it to go down as one in my notebook. It could be that the detail on the thorax is lost in the shadows - I couldn't get anything out using Lightroom.
