No that is the only shot I ha
No that is the only shot I have of this one. I was leaning towards female dot-tailed whiteface as I have photos of others that day that were identified as such.

whiteface
It's definitely not Dot-tailed; the pattern on the side of the abdomen isn't right. The single spot on S4 of a female occurs on L. frigida and L.proxima. The latter has an almost completely yellow side on the thorax and this one appears to have a fair bit of black. Since that area is under the wings and in shadow I can't be sure, however.

I'd frass it as it won't add anything to the guide.
