Keeled Skimmer, eye colour? (1 Viewer)

John P

Usually on a different wavelength
Looking through some of my recent pics I noticed a Dragon with a different eye colour to others of the same species. Assuming I've got the ID correct is this an age thing or what?

Keeled skimmer with grey eyes, all my other pics show brown eyes.

Hopefully there are four brown eyed Keeled Skimmers and one Four-spotted Chaser here.

I have more KS pics and they all have brown eyes except for the pic in the first post.
