Blue-faced Meadowhawk

Sympetrum ambiguum

The Blue-faced Meadowhawk is a slender dragonfly which has a blue-green forehead and a whitish lower face. The thorax is gray and the legs are tan. Mature males have a red abdomen, banded with black. In females and young males, the abdomen is brown with dark banding. They may be difficult to find due to their habit of perching in shade above eye level.
