Odie has me stumped - Perithemis tenera

Odie has me stumped - Perithemis tenera
Blue Grass FWA near Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana, USA
June 14, 2006
Single, longsuffering individual found perched on willow at water's edge. Body much shorter than wingspan.

We would say
a very lightly colored female Perithemis tenera. See a more richly colred example here . Same pattern - richer colors

 
I could go
for that. Especially after looking at the amount of variation in our identified images for that species. Thanks!
