Stripe-winged Baskettail - Epitheca costalis

Stripe-winged Baskettail - Epitheca costalis
Augusta - Lover's Lane, Richmond County, Georgia, USA
March 25, 2006
The abdomen looks narrowed near the beginning and the cerci seem long to me. Do you think it's Stripe-winged or just an unmarked Common Baskettail?

It would be difficult
to prove that this is not a Stripe-winged. As BG does not have any images of this species it may be a good idea to call it Stripe-winged so that viewers can be alerted to the fact that Stripe-winged and Common males are difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish. A pair of nice images.
