Hello,
I took these photos on May 7th along a small stream in Düsseldorf. The only fully colored damselflies around were Large Red Damselfly and Common Bluetail.
Is it possible to identify the species for these teneral damselflies?
If so are all three Common Bluetails? Observation.org (with >90% confidence for all three images) and iNaturalist both suggest Small Bluetail but I don't think that's correct.
