We unlinked your images
but you can Tag and Link any of the images that are of the same individual. Even if they were all images of the same species, they would not get linked here at BugGuide. Link is for multiple images of the same individual. This one is a male Enallagma exsulans.

Rainbow bluet
I happened on this specimen while doing bit of research. Stream bluet would have been so far out of range that I looked for alternatives. The orange face is a field mark for Rainbow bluet, E. antennatum which is very similar to E. exsultans except for this feature. Minot is within the range of E. antennatum.
