Female 12 Spotted Skimmer? - Epitheca princeps

Female 12 Spotted Skimmer? - Epitheca princeps
Baton Rouge, Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA
May 25, 2016
Body shape seems more slender and tapered than most images I have seen.
First female I have seen.
Saw a male once, in 2008.
So unusual for us.
Just thought I would get conformation.
In deep shade in a woody area.
