I got bummed out trying to reinstall everything on a new cp so went out for a little birding and found this dragonfly. A search of enature didn't come up with a match. Any guesses?

Sorry I know little about dragonflies, but that is an amazing picture.

Thanks guys. I don't know whether it is me but in its original size, the segment where the wings meet the body just above the tail almost looks like another face to me.

Hi. I believe this to be a juvenile male Common Whitetail. -Steve

Thanks Steve. I was leaning towards the female but everything I read on the female related to her being more orange so I wasn't sure. Well good. A new one for my new dragonfly list. BTW, these are the calmest dragonflies I have seen to date. One even landed on me.

I have one too and didn't know the name. The Dragonfly comes every day,two or three times a day and I think it is laying eggs on the Rushes in the Pond.

Thanks for the ID. It"s more fun to watch when I know the name
