Thanks John,

Thanks again for the ID and setting me straight, I was off base on both of the submissions.

Please,

try to remember to correct the sex if somebody tells you that. I did it for you this time and noticed that you hadn't checked "adult". That is usually a lot easier than figuring out the sex. If it has wings it is definitely an adult.
