The supposed females, photo to follow, are the most common Sympetrum sp. in my yard and garden. This fellow(?) looks like he could use a meal, although the yard is loaded with insects. The mosquito control district has been spraying "Biomist" (Permethrin and piperonyl butoxide) in town.

I agree: Striped Meadowhawk
Yes, this is a male Striped Meadowhawk, also common here in Northern California.

Striped Meadowhawk Sympetrum pallipes ( not Red-Veined)?
After reading DeeDee's comment on the female, and after looking at BugGuide photos of Striped Meadowhawk, I'm thinking this is a male Striped Meadowhawk, Sympetrum pallipes, and not Red-Veined Meadowhawk, Sympetrum madidum).
