Damselfly - Ischnura hastata

Damselfly - Ischnura hastata
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
April 21, 2012
Size: approx. 25 mm
7 pm in my yard. This one is rather blueish but could it also be a Citrine Forktail? If yes, would this be a female?
In any case, I found several of them (blue and orange, roughly the same small size) in the same spot.
