Looking through the guide, I think this is a female banded pennant? Any confirmation or correction would be appreciated. Thanks!

Halloween Pennant - Celithemis eponina
Orange-amber color between the dark wing markings indicates this species.
Banded Pennant would not have this extent of amber wing coloring.
Banded Pennant may show an amber wash at base of the hindwing.

Thank you
for the correction. I am moving the image; by chance can you advise if it is male or female?

Sex of Dragonfly
I think that it is a female - but I'm NOT SURE.
