Crescent Bluet? (1 Viewer)

This from Stockholm, Sweden.

Just going through photos of damsels taken last week more carefully having received my copy of Dijkstra/Lewingtons fieldguide to Dragonflies and this photo struck me. There were plenty of Northern and Variable Damselflies onsite, though this adult male seems to show post occular spots that don't adjoin, unbroken antihumeral stripes, S3-4 more than half black and a largely dark S6. My first Crescent Buet or not?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, this is definitely a male Crescent Bluet (C. lunulatum).
Females are more difficult to pick out - and it's possible that one or more of the females that I said were Variables in your last thread were actually this species (with C. armatum another possibility). In all cases the shape of the hind border of the pronotum is the best confirmation of ID.
